Nicola Carpeggiani
Nicola Carpeggiani is a visual artist whose work explores the intersection of technology, sound, and perception. As a key collaborator in Alex Braga's performance "Automatic Impermanence" at the Mico in Milan, Carpeggiani was responsible for creating real-time, audio-reactive visuals. The performance, which featured Braga performing alongside an AI to compose live music, was brought to life through Carpeggiani’s dynamic visuals. Using intricate coding, points, and lines, he translated the music into visual representations, forming 3D meshes that corresponded to the themes and emotions of each piece. To deepen the immersive experience, a Kinect Azure scanner captured Braga's movements as he performed, integrating his live image into the 3D particle mesh space, adding a human element to the digital visuals. Carpeggiani's work uniquely bridges the gap between the physical and virtual worlds, offering audiences a multi-sensory experience that is both ephemeral and ever-evolving.
