------------------

In a historical moment in which festival and reviews tied to the artistic application of new media and the so called new technologies proliferate, Mixed Media is an event of electronic culture which does not want to give an exhaustive panorama of the practices and disciplines which animate this world in continuous evolution, but which essentially presents itself as a moment of growth of dialogue and of confrontation of the new media.

The four days of the event, through exhibitions, meetings, seminars, concerts and visual and sound environments, wants to try and give useful stimuli to establish courses and connections between the parts, helping to locate the way in which 'digital' is changing the cultural structures and the perceptive procedures of the modern society.

He applies a method which is as free and flexible as possible for his work, for architecture, interior design, theoretical projects and installations, establishing relationships between experimentation and adherence to reality. His approach, which is artistic and multidisciplinary , and with particular attention to stimuli and digital technology , is in any case tied to architectural methods and conditions. Many of his works and projects have won prizes at competitions, exhibited and published in Italy and abroad and chosen for the Biennale di Venezia. A personal exhibition of his works, "Spaced Out, Gianluca Milesi, architectural exercises" was held at the Sesv, University of Florence , in 2003.

He has been actively and professionally tied to the entire network of professionals, artists, consultants and journalists who are the heart of the electronic contro-culture in Italy for many years, which is in gradual expansion. In January 2005 he decides to give life to DIGICULT (www.digicult.it), a new cultural project on electronic art, which has the ambitious aim to build the first real Italian community of digital art and culture, a centre of attraction for all those who love electronic arts and technologies. A territory contaminated by art and worlds which apparently seem different, but are brought together by the same creative digital matrix. Editor and responsible for the monthly magazine DIGIMAG (www.digicult.it/digimag), and of podcast DIGIPOD (www.digicult.it/podcast), Marco Mancuso works as consultant for the press office and often as curator and promoter of events tied to culture and electronic arts.
