LARA MEZZAPELLE E GIACOMO DERIU
 |
Lara Mezzapelle and Giacomo Deriu live and work between Bologna and Barcelona.
Their artistic research, born out of sharing personal and professional artistic careers, explores the new possibilities offered by digital language to develop New Media Art works, such as interactive video installations and installations/sculptures modeled on 3D graphics software and built by laser prototyping.
In their work, they focus attention on the spatiotemporal peculiarities of contemporary life, opening the discussion to universal existential questions.
