Alessandro Capozzo
Alessandro Capozzo (1970) is a media artist and designer - he studied musicology and also pursued his own interest in composition and electronic music - currently he is focused on digital arts and particularly on software poetics.
His personal research is focused on creating generative / interactive aesthetic software and media installations. The project Abstract-codex is actually a result of this perspective, which main focus is exploring the possibilities of coding as an expressive medium.
With that vision, code is the material which digital works are made of and at the same time revealed creative process: algorithms and computational strategies result both minimal constructive elements and generators of micro/macro formal organizations. This attitude will aim at a coherent modulation of contents through an idiomatic approach to the medium.
Alessando Capozzo lives and works in Milan, Italy.
