Luca Pozzi

Luca Pozzi (b. 1983) lives and works between Milan and New York. He is a visual artist and cultural mediator. He conducts, within his own domain of reference, „The Messages of Gravity“ program aimed to extend the possible emerging of interdisciplinary correspondences to a beautiful network of pure information. Drawing on the theoretical contributions expressed by researchers and artists indirectly involved in his projects, Luca Pozzi, by employing different media and new technologies, comes to realize hybrid installations, characterized by an original use of the force of gravity. He focuses his research on physics and particularly on Quantum Gravity and T.O.E. (Theory Of Everythings): String Theory, Loop quantum Gravity and noncommutative Geometry.

He was part of Loops Congress in the Main Campus of CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) in Madrid (May 2011) as a creator of a parallel art-exhibition focus on “Loops” and he
has been chosen as curator of Art-Science Biennale at C.A.B. (Centre d’Art Bastille) of Grenoble, (September 2011).

The same year Pozzi has been a guest of The Albert Einstein Institute of Golm (Berlin) and of La Faculté de Science, Luminy (Marseille).

In 2012, he has been a guest of the Institute for Gravitational and Cosmos at the Pennsylvania State University and of the Perimeter Institute Waterloo, Ontario, were he started the “Quantum Gravity Cave Archive“ which consists of documenting the hands of researchers with a special UV LED spray technology on a phosphorous surface.

In 2009 he won the Dena Fondation Residency for Contemporary Art at the Centre International d’accueil et d’échanges de Récollets, Paris. A year later, he attended residencies at PROGRAM (Initiative for Art + Architecture collaborations) in Berlin and in 2011 at Mazama Residency, Washington, United States.
