Antonio Poce

His artistic research moves between ancient and new alphabets, aspiring first and foremost for the reunion of the Arts. He has taken on intermedial writing as the map of his creative activity, convinced that the multichannel nature of our sensory system is naturally prone to expanded perception and the desire for complexity.

He loves the visionary awe of the desert fathers and the searing prose of Augustine, whose cognitive power makes any uneasy dualism of reason forgettable and even more so the nefarious consequences of antagonism and the century of death.

Antonio Poce is a Composer and Visual Artist. He has been integrating music creation with video writing and graphic arts for many years.

After high school he studied Composition with Ennio Morricone, Domenico Guaccero and Salvatore Sciarrino. Bachelor of Arts at Sapienza University of Rome with research on contemporary musical language. Creator and Artistic Director of Europa Festival (1994-2001), contributed to innovating Italian artistic programming by inviting many influential artists to produce flash-opere, original works known for progressive integrations between music, poetry and visual arts. In 1997 he established the Hermes Intermedia group, which, in collaboration with Giovanni Fontana, Giampiero Gemini and Valerio Murat, very soon took a leading role in the renewal of audiovisual language. With Valerio Murat he founded in 2024 the Labora Studio, an incubator and center of artistic production that integrates tradition and new technologies in new intermedial syntheses. His creative dimension manifests itself as expanded poetry, oriented to decipher emotions by assimilating different materials and writing techniques. His ideal of beauty aspires to simultaneity and the vertigo of multiple vision. His works have won prestigious awards at international festivals and institutions.

Valerio Murat

He devotes a significant part of his artistic research to exploring the cognitive structures of perception. Fascinated by music's ability to transgress its boundaries and invade the realm of the other senses, he studies how the sound dimension can integrate with other art forms to create multisensory experiences. This experimentation allows him to constantly innovate his compositions, extending the expressive potential of sound far beyond its traditional scope. He works with sound poetry and dance, later refining intermedial audiovisual composition. This practice, termed expanded musical composition fixes musical figures as a paradigm for a general integration of all the arts of movement in space and time.

Valerio Murat embarked on his professional career as a composer, winning some of the most important international prizes at a very young age: the Gaudeamus Prize in Amsterdam, the Reading panel of the IRCAM-Ensemble Intercontemporain, in Paris, the Giga-Hertz Prize in Karlsruhe, the Concours International de Musique et d'Art Sonore Electoacoustiques, in Bourges. His constant participation in prestigious artistic events, dedicated to different disciplines such as music, dance, cinema, poetry, new media and performing art, highlights the importance, transversality, as well as the inherently interdisciplinary nature of his research, capable of harmoniously integrating with various art forms. His creations have been presented in many venues of international significance, including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, IRCAM in Paris, Auditori in Barcelona, Festival Synthese in Bourges, Festival Présences at Maison de Radio France, Vine Theatre in Los Angeles, the International Computer Music Conference in various editions, the Venice Art Biennale and ZKM in Karlsruhe. In recent years, he has devoted special attention to the audiovisual sector, specializing in video production and post-production.
His work as a freelancer has allowed him to develop a deep knowledge of shooting, video editing and color correction techniques. Since 2018, he has been coordinating KLAB, a group of artists exploring interactive audiovisual composition for Virtual Reality. He currently teaches Multimedia at the Licinio Refice Conservatory of Frosinone.
