Luiz Zanotello's (*1986, Brazil) current artistic research stems from a poetics of abyss and time. Departing from pluriversal perspectives of experience, his practice often unfolds as installations and performative gestures that inquire into the paradoxical nature of language, matter and time. By reappropriating methods from the intersections of art, science, and technology, he explores new constellations of perceiving the present time and probing for its critical contingencies. Based in Berlin (DE), he is currently a PhD Candidate in Artistic Research at the University of the Arts Bremen (DE) together with the PhDArts program (Academy of Creative and Performing Arts and Royal Academy of Art, NL).

His work has been shown in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb (HR), the Museum of Applied Arts Vienna (AT), the Personal Structures Biennial in Venice (IT), and Cidade das Artes in Rio de Janeiro (BR). He was Assistant Professor for New Media at the Berlin University of the Arts (DE) for six years, as well as a DAAD scholarship holder, a Petra & Dieter Frese Stiftung Preis awardee, an artistic resident funded by the Goethe Institute, among others. He holds a BA in Design from the São Paulo State University (BR) and an MA in Digital Media from the University of the Arts Bremen (DE).
