Tommaso Maggio - Contemporary Dharma Artist 

The Approach

As an Italian artist living in Asia, the local culture, has a significant impact on my approach. In the past ten years, I am engaging in the artistic local and international scene. PhD studies with technoetic and moist-media theorist and practitioner, Emeritus Professor Roy Ascott have boosted it. Among my projects, one has impacted the most in my career development, a contemporary theatrical performance developed with a local theatre company for the Wellcome Trust (UK). It allowed me to reconsider the value of the human body as a designerly tool. A medium; since then, I embed the idea of the physical and social body in my work. Meditation comes after a series of experiments on how to live the now, the nowness.

The stillness of these minutes sit down by doing nothing has been balanced by startingdrawing on my laptop just after every single session.
