UMBERTO CICERI
His reseach is based on neuroaesthetic studies, a personal evolution of a technique that involves the use of special lenses, which encourages to move around in front of the work in a ritual perceptive of temporal coincidence, and this is called Hypertrait.By designing interference patterns translated into shapes, the artist tries to involve the viewer in a kinetic relationship with the artwork, made of visual anchoring and intra-activities linked to movement.
LINK VIDEO INTERVIEW
La forma del ritmo at the MA*GA Museum is his first solo exhibition hosted at an Italian museum and opened on occasion of the eighteenth Giornata del Contemporaneo promoted by AMACI.
Ciceri’s artworks become devices that don’t simply show colour, but also create it. Technically, we find ourselves before this coexistence between two different kinds of elements: on the one side, chromatic elements born of subtractive synthesis, printed on paper by mixing cyan, magenta and yellow; on the other, dynamic chromatic elements, resulting from light reflections and refractions within the lenses that are put in contact with the printed paper. These dynamic chromatic elements stem from additive synthesis and are able to transmit and build colours though a direct manipulation of light, which in our case is amplified by the spectator’s own movement. For this reason, a chromatic element is always paired with a rhythmic element, the rhythm of those who move, walk, and shift back and forth in front

HYPERTRAITS
A crasis joining together the words “hyper” and “portrait”, it defines the Hypertrait as a neuroperceptual modality of portraying visual events, which get amplified by the act of observing while moving.
