Paolo Bottarelli
After being educated in arts and music and graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Bottarelli rejected the art-world to enter the Chess game universe. For 11 years his obsession and his experimentation is the one of the chess- board, modal logic, math and physics. In 2008 Paolo Bottarelli comes back to exhibit: Epifanie Matematiche, Mind different Brain, Pentagram Project, Detour Moleskine and How To the ongoing collective projects, to the International Istanbul Biennal, Biennal of Marrakech, Momentum Nordic Biennal of Contemporary Art, Mueseum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, NGBK Berlin, Bethanien Berlin, Spinnerei Leipzig, Tehran Digital Art Annual Exhibition, Beijing Science Contemporary Art Center, Biennal of Marracheck, Biennal Cairo Off, Berlin Biennal. In Berlin, around the group of the Association of Neuroesthetics.
The AoN serves as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, bridging various approaches to art and human experience, cultivating interdisciplinary efforts and encouraging both a dialogue and lasting cooperation between the arts and the sciences. He studies and experiments the possibilities of perception and the potential of human mind. His work is intertwined with scientific researches and engaged with philosophical perspective. I collaborated with Max Plank Institute, Humbolt University and School of Mind And Brain in Berlin.
