Domenico Barra is an Italian artist, educator and visual content creator working in the field of digital art and dirty new media.

The critical, tactical and analytical approach to new technologies takes shape in an artistic production that exploits the “glitch” as raw material for visual creations but also as the narrative line to address different topics such as privacy, body, memory, identity.

Psycology is at the base of all of his work.

He creates still images, gifs and videos.

He also makes artworks for bands and solo musicians, portraits, abstracts and memes.

He likes to experiment with every media, misusing hardwares and softwares in creative ways to generate images.

His work has been published on various sites and magazines such as The Creators Project, Motherboard, Bullet Magazine, Hyperallergic, Art F City and Digicult.

He took part in several curatorial projects and his works were exhibited internationally at the DAM Gallery in Berlin, at the Media Center in New York, at Galerie Charlot in Paris and in Italy at the Link Art Center in Brescia, online at the Wrong Biennale, just to name some.
