Our LASER Santa Fe talk with artist and scientist Marco Buongiorno Nardelli in the Rainbow Rainbow room at Santa Fe's own Meow Wolf. In conjunction with his exhibition at the 2024 Currents New Media Festival, Dr. Buongiorno Nardelli's discusses principles of compositional design by the direct analysis of such networks, and how he uses these ideas as foundation of his practice as composer and media artist.
Marco Buongiorno Nardelli is a composer, installation artist and computational physicist who brings a platform for Art/Science integration rooted in his profound and extensive expertise in development of scientific and artistic software and his vision for sustainable community software development. He is Regents Professor at the University of North Texas, with academic appointments in both the Department of Physics and the Division of Composition Studies, a member of iARTA, the Initiative for Advanced Research in Technology and the Arts and CEMI, the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia, and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute where he directs an initiative in “Music Complexity”. As both an Artist and a Scientist, his work is intrinsically inter- and cross-disciplinary: his work in Physics and in Art is the natural extension of his practices as a creative thinker.
