Alessandro Carboni

Multidisciplinary artist | Italy

Alessandro Carboni addresses his research paths that always involve multiple domains and that draw from both the theoretical and practical studies. His experience, gained as a visual artist and performer, focuses on the body and its relationship with space. Its practices were consolidated over the years through a method of composition that approaches similar paths in science (particularly some of the research carried out in architecture, urban geography, cognitive processes and complex systems science). In recent years he has developed several projects, videos, exhibitions and performances through long stays in Europe, Hong Kong, India and China. In his projects, the artist is supported by collaborations with performers, researchers, planners, architects and sociologists, creating work platforms that become essential elements in the design process. He takes on the role of mediator among different linguistic registers, between a survey field and another, between  complementary figures and strategic roles. He teaches and conducts research at the School of Architecture in Hong Kong, the Central Saint Martin's University of Art in London, Naba in Milan and the Faculty of Architecture of Cagliari, where he coordinates the LaDU - multidisciplinary media lab of urban density. He recently began to a collaborative research project Complex Body Networks with Department of Phisics of the University of Cagliari.
