Celebrating the opening of MASTER, our Tenth Anniversary exhibition, New Media Gallery is pleased to host a 30 minute Keynote Artist Talk by Daniele Puppi. Scott Billings will share the podium (see Scott Billings Event). MASTER is curated by New Media Gallery. Daniele’s work in this exhibition is entitled Psychedelic Lock, 2016. Two connected LED monitors, positioned horizontally, link a space defined by two angular walls. An image is passed back and forth, from one monitor to the other accompanied by a forceful rhythmic sound that is both sustained and hypnotic. In the passage from one dimension to the other, the image projected acquires a double physicality, thus defining the very space between the two dimensions — the architectural (physical) and the extreme limitations of movement.

About Daniele Puppi
Daniele Puppi is a visual artist and designer who works to unhinge the idea of space that is still perceived and revolves around Euclidean parameters. With an emphasis on video installation, he has manifested a new attitude towards this medium, emphasizing and radically subverting the use of sound and visual-architectonic reconfigurations that are constantly reinvented. Puppi conceives of his work as authentic “works in regress”. He experiences the environment, assesses its limits and its potential. The technologies used – video projectors, synchronizers, amplifiers, sub woofers, speakers and microphones – serve to activate and amplify our powers of perception, especially visual and auditory. An integral part of the work is that the viewer is called upon to enter a new and de- familiarized spatial and sensory dimension. Puppi’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions around the world ; at MAXXI, GNAM museum, and Quadriennale in Rome, HangarBicocca and Triennale in Milan, MART in Rovereto, GAMEC in Bergamo, the Melbourne International Arts Festival and MAMBA in Buenos Aires among many others. He lives and works between Rome and London. He lectures and gives workshops worldwide. WEBSITE
