Biography
Sergio Maltagliati an artist from Florence Italy; studied music at the Conservatory "Luigi Cherubini" in Florence, [2] then he began to paint. Thus creating a new method of writing music where the score becomes a visual composition. The relation between the sound and color creates a living feeling that art is not dead. It does not stop at the artist's last attempt at the canvas, but goes beyond to the viewer. It is the relationship between artist and viewer, one is no different than the other. Now the viewer can take the step that the artist may dare not to across. It is the point of translation a fear to most artist that want to create and let their work go. This kind of art allows the viewer to create with the artist and create so much more. Sergio Maltagliati has always been deeply interested in a multimedia concept of art.[3] His education, in both music and the visual arts, has placed him in the position to incorporate sign, colour, and sound into a unitary concept of multiple perception, through analogies, contrasts, stratifications, and associations.
Since 1997 Sergio Maltagliati has dealt principally in music on the Internet and one of his first compositions intended for the network, netOper@[4] a new, and the first Italian interactive work for the Web starting in the spring of 1997. [5] The interactive work will be presented simultaneously in real and cyberspace. The Opera is realized with the collaboration of Pietro Grossi, the legendary father of Italian music informatics. [6] The essential aspect to Sergio Maltagliati’s approach is the idea that art is not just the fruit of the composer, the creation is always the fruit of collaboration. Two of his works are strongly based on this concept: neXtOper@_1.03 (2001)[7] a work for mobile phones, and midi_Visu@lMusiC (2005) music and images on I-Mode mobile phone. In 1999 he writes the program autom@tedVisualMusiC,[8] software from experiences of the visual programs of HomeArt realized from Grossi in the years '80, written in the language BBC Basic with computer Acorn Archimedes A310, a project that creates abstract designs and sound by using programming to make the piece interactive and adds movement. This artwork not only has visually pieces, but also is interactive.[9] In 2001 he has participated in the project Interview yourself by Amy Alexander.[10]
He currently uses a personal computer to set up interactive works, open compositions where the listener has a predominant and decisive role.
