Prof. Pier Luigi Capucci
University of Bologna

Since the early '80 I have been concerned with the communication's technologies and with the relationships among arts, sciences and technologies. I have been professor at the universities of Rome "La Sapienza", Bologna and Florence. Currently I am professor of "Mass Communications Theory and Technique" and of "Multimedia Production" at the University of Bologna, of "New Media Theories and Techniques" at the University of Urbino and of "Phenomenology of Visual Arts and Communications" at the Fine Arts Academy of Urbino.
My theoretical activity is concerned with idioms, techniques and technologies of representation and communication in the communication and art realms, and with the art forms based on the technosciences. In the field of applied research I work on the opportunities of social relationships raised by online communications and new media. I also work as a consultant for private and public companies.
