Jacopo Dal Bello’s work is driven by an interest in how technologies mediate and filter our experience of reality and how they shape our perception of the world. An example is the phenomenon of digital pollution, explored in Experience™ and a series of plaster sculptures that materialise the invisible residue of our online lives. By manipulating familiar elements of digital culture Dal Bello creates frictions, often through humour and absurdity. By combining everyday objects with historical materials and references, Dal Bello constructs a world that hovers between truth and fiction.
Originally from Northeast Italy, Dal Bello studied at the Universität der Künste in Berlin and at the Cass School of Art and the Byam Shaw School of Fine Art in London. He is currently living and working in Berlin.
