Artist Statement:
Richard Journo > Born in Tripoli, Libya in 1958 to an Italian family, Richard Journo has dedicated much of the last 20 years to collective arts, producing music projects, directing documentaries and short films. Using this broad spectrum of experience, he has developed a subjective style which is illustrated in his work - installations, videos and large format digital arts.
Richard’s work expands from art and science to mathematics and codification, tackling issues concerning serialisation, uniformity and our way of living in our society based on illusions and superficiality. The artist explores that through a wide range of medias including, oil painting, installations, video and digital art (IT is the medium that almost everybody in our post-industrial society uses in the course of their normal life, but also because it allows a self referential and paradoxical discourse).
Richard Journo investigates the ethics of codification from encrypted codes to behaviour codes and genetic codes. His recent works are a series of profound reflections on the opening of a new era in the history of human kind, the era of biotechnology, nanotechnology and neurotechnology.
