Paolo Cirio
-
-
Artist Paolo Cirio engages with legal, economic, and cultural systems of information. His work considers how various modes of information control affect society by examining topics that have been transformed in the Internet era. His research- and intervention-based practice is communicated through interdisciplinary projects that include video, installation, print, and public art. Focusing on subjects such as privacy, copyright, democracy, and finance, Cirio’s practice exposes the ethical complexities bound up in social, technological, and cognitive systems. Through recontextualization and appropriation, Cirio’s work brings to the fore the conflicts and contradictions inherent in institutionalized information control. His use of social interventions, irony, popular culture, and provocative visuals makes his work accessible to a broad audience.
