Artist & Place
Artist & Place is a bi-weekly podcast with artist, Kim Carlino, interviewing artists to uncover the connection between place, landscape and the creative process. This is a podcast that goes beyond the work we make to get to the why behind it and what has brought us to that why, and how can a deeper look at our places of origin and memories of place affect our work. These conversations meander and explore many territories that will illuminate and inspire.

Sabato Visconti - New Media Art & the Post Photography Landscape
Episode 11 of Artist & Place with Sabato Visconti, an Italian-Brazilian new media artist based n Western Massachusetts. He was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and raised in Miami, He went on to earn a B.A. in Political Science from Amherst College. Sabato’s work seeks to reconfigure traditional understanding of photography and digital media, by interrogating how hegemonic structures distort and influence individual subjects. Sabato began experimenting with glitch processes in 2011. Since then, his work with glitch and digital media has been exhibited throughout the world, including spaces like Tate Britain, ICA Boston, The SPRING/BREAK Art Show, LACDA, and the FILE Festival. His work has also appeared in Vogue, TIME, WIRED, The New York Times, AI-AP’s “Latin American Fotografia 4” Anthology, and in Photographer’s Forum annual “Best of Photography” books for eight straight years. This is a conversation about post photography processes, new media art and the democratizing of access to making and sharing art. It’s a conversation about a digital community sharing ideas and tools to propel what is possible in photography even further. It is a conversation about mining the roots of digital creation to exploit nostalgic technologies to produce art. It’s a conversation about returning to the basics to answer fundamental questions about making art and the future and hybridity of mediums. It’s a conversation about our collective future with these new technologies and thinking through the role that they could play in the creative practice. Loved this conversation and I hope you do too! Lots of food for thought.
