Bio/Research
Dave Colangelo is an artist, educator, and researcher based in Toronto, Canada. His work focuses on urban media environments as sites for critical and creative engagements with the city, public art and information. Colangelo investigate the critical and creative potential of large-scale public projections, urban screens and media architecture and the technical and social networks connected to them. He considers the role that these elements can play within practices of monumentality, public art, digital placemaking and “smart cities” to address equity, diversity and inclusion.
He primarily uses research-creation to create interdisciplinary opportunities for critical study, community engagement, experiential learning, city building and collaborative creative practice. His writing has appeared in the Journal of Visual Culture, Space and Culture, Leonardo, Public Art Dialogue and the Journal of Curatorial Studies, and in edited collections on Museum and Gallery Design and the History of Film Studies. He is the author of The Building as Screen: A History, Theory, and Practice of Massive Media (Amsterdam University Press, 2020).
His creative work has been exhibited at The Bentway in Toronto and at Open Signal and the Portland Winter Light Festival in Portland, Oregon. Writings and presentations on these works have appeared at the Media Architecture Summit 2015 in Beijing, the 2013-14 Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism in Shenzhen/Hong Kong, the International Symposium for Electronic Art (ISEA) 2013 in Sydney, and ISEA 2011 in Istanbul.
