Jacopo Cenni (1995) is a new media artist, composer and live performer from Siena (Italy). Among his various research interests, his poetics focus on the investigation of the relationship between theatrical gesture and sound art, with the adoption of an ecosystemic approach to sound and music composition.
In his work, Cenni tries to amplify the non-linear relationships between the constituent elements of a system, with the aim to bring interactions and mutual influences between them to light. To achieve this he explodes those elements in several mediums, employing sound, light and video.
His relationship with technology is crucial: his goal is to blur the dichotomy between creator and tool, in order to have a true dialogue with the machine. To achieve this Cenni explodes the poetic and dramaturgical elements of his compositions in several mediums, employing sound, light, and theatrical gestures.
His works and live performances have been presented in several institutions and festivals, such as La Biennale di Venezia (IT), Glasgow Science Center (UK), Tempo Reale (IT), Fondazione Luigi Nono (IT) and more.
His artistic output ranges between sound theater, electroacoustic composition and improvisation.
