Video Art, Guido Segni, aka Clemente Pestelli, (b. 1979, Italy) lives
and works somewhere at the intersections between art, pop internet
culture and data hallucination.</div><div>Mainly focused on the daily
(ab)use of Internet, his work is characterized by minimal gestures on
technology which combine conceptual aproaches with a traditional hacker
attitude in making things odd, useless and dysfunctional.</div><div>In
quite recent years he moved from an identity to another producing works,
actions and interventions under pseudonyms, collectives and multiple
names (Dedalus, Clemente Pestelli, Guy McMusker, Angela Merelli, Anna
Adamolo, Guy The Bore, Umberto Stanca, Silvie Inb, Fosco Loiti Celant,
Guru Miri Goro, Leslie Bleus, Luther Blissett).</div><div>Co-founder of
Les Liens Invisibles , he exhibited in galleries, museums (MAXXI Rome,
New School of New York, KUMU Art Museum of Talinn) and art &
media-art international festivals (International Venice Biennale,
Piemonte SHARE Festival, Transmediale).</div><div>Currently he teaches
at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Carrara, directs the imaginary
REFRAMED lab and he is part of the editorial committee for the project
