DIS\u00d8RDINARY B\u018fAUTY<\/strong> is an ongoing art project by Domenico Barra<\/strong><\/a> that explores ugliness through glitch art. The project has been developed as a series of NFTs, with a new phase taking place on Niio as a work in progress, in which the artist will periodically upload new artworks and accompanying documentation. Here in the Editorial section, we\u2019ll publish email exchanges bringing light into Domenico\u2019s creative process and the ideas and influences behind this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domenico Barra<\/strong><\/a> is an Italian artist, educator, and curator whose work delves into the aesthetics of glitch art, \u201cdirty\u201d digital media and Internet cultures. He creates images, gifs, videos, and installations through a variety of techniques aimed at generating errors in the processes carried out by hardware and software to create the contents we experience on screens. In 2017, he adopted the nickname Altered_Data, inspired by the realization that online data is gradually shaping and manipulating our identity and behavior, and the fact that he was born with an immune system disorder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

He is the creator and art director of the online project White Page Gallery\/s<\/a><\/strong>. a distributed and decentralized art network and community. In 2021, he started minting his works as NFTs and is now an active member of the NFT art community, selling his work on Ethereum and Tezos. He teaches glitch art and dirty new media at RUFA – Rome University of Fine Art. His work has been exhibited, among others, at DAM Gallery (Berlin), Galerie Charlot (Paris), Digital Art Center (Taipei), online at the Wrong Biennale and with Arebyte, and in many other galleries and cultural art events worldwide, on the internet and the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
