WORK HISTORY
Teacher for Glitch Art & Dirty New Media Course and Workshop @Rufa - Rome University of Fine Arts
Rome, IT
Coordinating projects for public and private academic trainings on digital arts and networking. I apply an analytical, critical, tactical and creative approach to new technologies. The strengths of my courses are research, experimentation and creative problem solving. My classes are organised with a horizontal structure and participatory methodology. I actively involve students in sharing knowledge and know-how keeping their interest active with the aim of suggesting a personal awareness of their qualities and the importance of teamwork- the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples,(2013): Databending lesson for the creation of digital drafts from original photographs to then be translated into painting. Lesson coordinated by professor Donato Maniello- Rome Fine Art University (RUFA),(2016 - in progress): Professor of Glitch Art and Dirty New Media. The course includes notions on the use, aesthetics and poetics of error in the history of art. The practical part is dedicated to digital formats and databending. The course is coordinated by the teacher Catetina Tomeo.

SKILLS
ABOUT DOMENICO BARRA
I am a multimedia artist, and since 2012 I\'ve explored the digital world through its instability embracing the aesthetic of glitches, pixels, and machine failures. My current work challenges traditional beauty standards, critiquing the influence of the beauty industry, social media, and artificial intelligence in the perception and depiction of the human body. I aim to create art that is both thought-provoking and visually striking, while also promoting inclusivity and awareness of the human body in all its forms. Inspired by my personal experience with rheumatoid arthritis, I am also delving into the complexities of the human body, its imperfect nature and its mutations/evolutions.My works have been featured in prestigious publications, including Flash Art, Motherboard, Hyperallergic, and more. I am honoured to be listed in the second volume publication on art and technology endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Exhibitions at renowned galleries and cultural events worldwide, including DAM Gallery in Berlin, Media Center in New York, the State Hermitage Museum, and the World Intellectual Property Organization, have presented some of my AI and glitch art projects in their metaverse shows. Additionally, I have been invited to present academic talks and lectures at esteemed institutes and universities. In 2016, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago invited me to give a lecture and public talk on piracy practices and the impact of the internet and digital media on the production, distribution, and consumption of NSFW materials, marking their 150th-anniversary celebration. At the MACRO in Rome, I held a lecture about making art with glitches. Notably, I directed the organization of Italy\'s first Glitch Art group show,\"Tactical Glitches,\" curated by Rosa Menkman & Nick Briz. I am actively involved in curatorial projects with Sedition Gallery, Artpoint, CIFRA, and Niio, and have collaborated with the MoCDA Museum, Hard Disk Museum, and The Wrong Biennale. Sharing my knowledge and passion, I held masterclasses on glitch art and dirty new media at Rome University of Fine Art [RUFA]. As the creator of the online art network and community, White Page Gallery/s, I foster connections and facilitate artistic exchange.I collaborated with Snark.art and OG.Art, two companies specialised in producing and curating groundbreaking digital art projects on the blockchain. We worked with renowned artists Random International, Mat Collishaw, Michael Joo and Danil Krivoruchko and also partnered with Hermitage Museum, Pace Gallery, and Christie\'s.
