About
Enrico is a sound artist and creative technologist working across various formats. He is particularly interested in the artistic exploration of non-determinism, audio-visual interaction, generative systems, and shared agency between the artist and external agents in the creative process. His artistic production is grounded in the use of technologies and code. A conservatory graduate (BA and MA degrees in electroacoustic music composition) with a broad IT background, he holds a PhD in creative technologies from the University of Portsmouth (UK), Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries. His artistic and scholarly work has been presented internationally
