Course Director
Paolo Atzori http://www.khm.de/~Paolo
After a period working as an architect in Vienna Paolo collaborated as an artist and scientific consultant with the Cologne Academy of Media Arts (KHM), where together with Fabrizio Plessi he founded the department of electronic theatre design. From 1994 to the present he has created many theatrical and artistic projects characterised by experimentation with electronic and digital technologies and with the objective of expanding the scenographic environment and introducing new representations of space characterised by the dynamics of pervasiveness and interaction. Paolo Atzori has also curated numerous exhibitions dedicated to electronic and digital arts, directed educational programs, participated in conferences and seminars and published articles and essays on digital culture.
