Artist
Roberto Amoroso
The works of Roberto Amoroso draw from a hybrid repertoire of media-based, virtual, and real images. The artist engages with diverse symbols to create grafts between human, animal, and cyborg bodies. His artistic research focuses on identity as an ever-unfinished process, constantly negotiating with the alterities of virtual and digital worlds. Within this framework, Roberto breaks not only with the separation between everyday space and virtual space, but also with all classical dichotomies. Digital art thus becomes a privileged site for dismantling binarisms, such as human vs. animal (for example, through the ethno-religious language of therianthropy), and male vs. female through a queer artistic approach and cyberfeminist reflection.
