Italian version

The work of Giacomo Verde can not be described through a genre or a type of artwork, but is instead characterized by contamination and crossing genres with the constant creative use of 
"low cost technology".



Curriculum - short version 1


Giacomo Verde calls himself a “teknoartist”, while others call him an Artivist. He has been working in theatre and the visual arts since the 1970s. Since the 1980s he has produced works through the creative use of ‘low’ technology, such as video art, techno-performances, theatre shows, installations and learning workshops. He is the inventor of “tele-narration”, a technique also used for creating live-video-backdrops for concerts and poetry recitals. He was one of the first Italians to create interactive art works and net-art. He has worked with various different artistic teams as an author, actor, performer, musician, video-set designer and director. He lectures on video installation at the Fine Arts Academy of Carrara, on video-theatre at the Fine Arts Academy of Macerata, and holds digital art workshops for the University of Rome III. Reflecting on and playfully experimenting with the latest techno-anthropo-logical developments underway and building bridges between different art genres is a constant with Verde.
He recently published “ARTIVISMO TECNOLOGICO. Scritti e interviste su arte, politica, teatro e tecnologie” (Technological Artivism. Writings and Interviews on Art, Politics, Theatre and Technology). Preface by Antonio Caronia. Edizioni BFS, Pisa.

Curriculum - short version 2

Born in the province of Napoli in 1956. Son of immigrants, he received his diploma from the Istituto d’Arte of Florence. He moved to live in Lucca. In 1980 he started working on theatre research, techno performances, videoart, bag pipe playing, children’s theatre, a guest on TV, computer graphics and he also invented “Tele-racconto”. At the beginning of the 90’s he started to work on projects which involve the use of the television and interactive art, virtual reality, educative video making, and theory of communication. He has also realised that he is/has been a cyberpunk. All of this without wanting to lose a Tuscan accent.
