Chiara Zaccagnini

Architect and Artist interested in Emergent technology Art and Architecture, based in London currently working for AL_A Architects. She recently completed the new extension of the Victoria and Albert Museum that opened in June 2017. She took part at the Royal Academy Summer exhibition 2017 with two illustrations commissioned for AL_A. The images captured the V&A construction process as an abstracted framework of lines that reveals the invisible building structure. The illustration was created by overlays of multiple technical drawings used during the V&A building construction.
Her research as an Artist focuses particularly in the cross boundaries between the fields of art and architecture, the dialogue between digital and reality, realism versus abstraction. She uses technology and photography as a generative tool for creating sculptures and installations.
Her research explores identity and resolution a key to decode the encrypted portraits of our present society. Modern Digital society and the identity in contemporary Art are considered the key aspects of a emergent art scene.
Her work investigate coding as tool that is used to explore oil paintings, photography landscapes, portraits and pop art through a new language.
