Angelo Demitri Morandini (Caldonazzo, TN, 1975) combines a degree in philosophy with master’s studies in computer science, establishing himself as a multidisciplinary artist. His main interest lies in language and its manipulation, with a specific focus on the impact these aspects have on social relationships. Morandini explores these themes through various media: digital arts, video, performance, automatic drawing, painting, and kinetic, sound and/or light installations. Part of his artistic communication code is represented by relational art, through which he discovers new ways to “map” social relationships. Morandini’s artworks and conceptual projects have been presented in Italy and abroad; below are recent selected exhibitions, festivals, and projects: 2025 Milan, Manuel Zoia Gallery, Frammenti di libertà, curated by Gabriele Salvaterra, two-person show; Trento, Mart – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto at the Galleria Civica di Trento, Intelligenze emotive, curated by Lisa Maturi, Ginevra Perruggini, Giuseppe Scalia with Swami Agosta, coordinated by Gabriele Lorenzoni and Denis Viva, group show; Arteam Cup, Savona, Fortezza del Priamar, Connexxion Prize, kinetic work; 2024, Galleria Contempo in Pergine (TN), solo exhibition, Mater.IA – The Substance of Artificial Unconscious, the first exhibition curated by an artificial intelligence created by the artist himself; Parma, Palazzo Pigorini, The Artwork in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, curated by Chiara Canali, Rebecca Pedrazzi and Davide Sarchioni, Jaca Book catalogue; OSTEN Drawing Biennial, National Gallery of Art, Skopje, Macedonia 2023 (catalogue); “Art Nova 100”, international exhibition, Guardian Art Center, Beijing, China 2023; “Languag* game of words”, curated by Chiara Canali, Manuel Zoia Gallery, Milan (catalogue), 2023; 16th International Arte Laguna Prize, video art award for “Dante fluttuante”, Arsenale di Venezia 2023; MAG – Museo dell’Alto Garda, Riva del Garda, TN, “Angelo Demitri Morandini: Tele sociali”, curated by Gabriele Lorenzoni 2022 (catalogue); The Social Art Award 2021, Institute of Art and Innovation, Berlin (Top 100 international artists; catalogue); “Dante fluttuante”, curated by Dora Bulart, Galleria Contempo (Pergine TN) in collaboration with the Fondazione Museo Storico di Trento, 2021 (catalogue); Combat Art Prize 2020, “Fragile Babilonia”, video installation (special mention, catalogue); University of the Arts of Bahia, Brazil, Dialogo sull’identità, participatory art; Portugal; Calvos, Centro de Interpretação do Carvalho; 2016, residency; Genoa, Aboutness Contemporary Art Gallery 2013; Pergine Spettacolo Aperto, international art festival, “Il Germogliatore” prize, interactive installation, 2012; Milan, Orea Malià Gallery 2009; MANIFESTA 7, Galleria Civica Trento, 2008, “Matrici affini”, video.
