Vita

Luiz Zanotello's (*1986, Brazil) work is marked by a poetic inquiry into material ecologies of techno-imagination. Departing from pluriversal perspectives of experience, his practice often unfolds as transmedia installations, texts and performances that inquire into the paradoxical nature of language, matter and time. By reappropriating tools and intersecting methods from the fields of art, science, and technology, he explores new constellations of the poetic-technical image and its critical contingencies. Based in Berlin (DE), he is currently a PhD Candidate in Artistic Research at the University of the Arts Bremen (DE) in cotutelle with the PhDArts program (Academy of Creative and Performing Arts and Royal Academy of Art, NL) funded by a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes.

His work has been shown in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb (HR), the Museum of Applied Arts Vienna (AT), and Cidade das Artes in Rio de Janeiro (BR). He was Assistant Professor for New Media at the Berlin University of the Arts (DE) for six years, a lecturer for Artistic Research and Media Art at the University of the Arts Bremen (DE), as well as a DAAD scholarship holder, a Petra & Dieter Frese Stiftung Preis awardee, an artistic resident of the European Media Art Platform as well as the Hydromedia program, the Speculative Design program, among others. He holds a BA in Design from the São Paulo State University (BR) and an MA in Digital Media from the University of the Arts Bremen (DE).
