Biography
Michael Cardacino is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Springs, East Hampton, NY. His art, realized in sculpture, installations, stills and performance pieces on paper and video, evidences an unusual representational take on how art can expand awareness and create a shared experience of timely events, and provoke a constructive conversation about the causes of suffering and conflict in the world.
His work, built with popular images and ideas appropriated from the streaming collective consciousness -- including the Internet, TV, movies, cave painting, stand-up comedy and his own photographs – constitutes a kind of sensory language that can be easily read, the purpose of which is to foster compassion through recognition and understanding.
