Sonia Cillari

Architect, creative director, designer, cultural project manager and digital arts teacher, her artistic search expands into multimedia territories to create immersive and ephemeral environments. It creates interactive installations and performances, sensitive platforms that link visual forms generated by technological devices with the body movements of visitors. They are spatial architectures that are built around the body and interact with it, creating a technological and carnal dance. Cillari proposes a system of experimentation and interactivity, a sensitive space that vibrates with the interventions of the public. Theirs is a primitive technology, so that it does not erase what is personal about this interaction, based on the exchange between the artist and the audience. In this way, it creates sensory and perceptive mechanisms in different immersive and magnified environments. His artistic research studies how patterns of consciousness, perception and identity emerge from these scenarios. He has exhibited at V2_ (Rotterdam, Netherlands), the Rijksakademie, the STEIM (Electro-Instrumental Music Studio) and the Netherlands Media Art Institute (Amsterdam), as well as at the [ars]numerica (Montbeliard, France) and the Claudio Buziol Foundation ( Venice Italy). He has received the honorable mention from VIDA 9.0 and the Ars Electronica, Interactive Art awards, as well as the Excellence Award at the 11th edition of the Japan Media Arts Festival. Since 2007 she has taught at the Frank Mohr Institute (Groningen, Netherlands) and since 2009 she has been associated with the Optofonica Lab for Immersive ArtScience (Amsterdam).
He presented his projects in the exhibition organized at Medialabmadrid Hybrid spaces and visual architectures.
