Stanza's work crosses borders between artistic, technological and scientific sectors. Stanza creates participatory digital artworks that invite viewers to guide data flows or to simply observe self-generating compositions. His digital paintings shift through abstract and iconic patterns, which people can explore akin to virtual environments. Interactive and visually appealing, his style also maintains the substantive power through multi-facetted content. This artist has won international praise and awards for his new media works that invite collaboration. Stanza is currently a recipient of a AHRC creative fellowship 2006-9 for a project called The Emergent City, researching sensors and the impact of live data in the architectural and urban environment. Stanza was also awarded a NESTA dreamtime fellowship in 2004. This prestigious award provided incoming investment, allowing allowing experiments using new displays, sensors, and live data to make responsive spaces and interactive installations. Work has centered on the idea of the building as a new display system and various projects have been made using live data, the use of live data in architectural space, and how it can be made into meaningful representations. see 'publicity', 'robotica', 'sensity', as well as a whole series of work manipulating real time CCTV data to making artworks with them: See, 'velocity', 'authenticity', 'urban generation'. These works reform the data, work with the idea of bringing data from outside into the inside, and then present it back out again in open ended systems where the public is often engaged in or directly embedded in the artwork.

Discours (notes)

"STANZA is an artist who deals with net art, multimedia, electronic music and painting. Most of his work can be viewed from www.stanza.co.uk. STANZA studied at Goldsmiths and Central Saint Martins in London. (…) STANZA is interested in an 'industrial culture' of surveillance, control and repression: brutal, monochrome, low-definition architectural perspectives, street-plan grids, high rise elevations defaced by heavy imprints, and grainy, propagandist collages. The emphasis is of the emancipation promised by the new media. STANZA is concerned more with the way images are formed and transformed than with content, more concerned with the copy than the original. Increasingly unidentifiable, mutilated grids are copied, degraded, reproduced on plexi glass screens or mirror." (http://www.noemalab.org/sections/gallery/stanza/stanza.html)
