Poetica
Lanfranco Aceti è un artista che lavora nel campo dell'arte contemporanea, il suo obiettivo è quello di sfruttare le possibilità offerte dal digitale per attivare una rivisitazione di settori tradizionali come la pittura, la scultura e il cinema. Anche se questo tipo d'impegno può risultare complesso, è comunque necessario per rivedere in maniera critica il tradizionale, al fine di giustificare un nuovo approccio estetico. Il suo impegno artistico si concentra sull'esplorazione delle possibilità offerte dai processi di digitalizzazione di settori come il disegno, la pittura, la scultura, l'installazione e il cinema, attraversando varie discipline, dall'antropologia alla filosofia, dalla scienza informatica alla biologia. La sua scelta artistica come artista visivo e teorico culturale è quella di promuovere l'integrazione di discipline con l'attualità, senza guardare al passato come il tempo dell'oro, ma come un momento di una continua trasformazione che rappresenta e documenta attraverso i nuovi media l'itinerario di un viaggio personale e artistico.
