Francesca Franco is a Venetian-born curator, producer and art historian based in the UK and Italy. Francesca is Visiting Professor at Danube University Krems, where she teaches Media Art and Curatorial Practice. From 2019 to 2023, she was Co-Investigator on the AHRC-funded project “Documenting digital art: re-thinking histories and practices of documentation in the museum and beyond” at the University of Exeter. In 2022 she curated and produced “Vera Molnár: Icône 2020”, an exhibition centred on a new commission, “Icône 2020”, at the 59th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia. In 2017, she was curator-in-residence at the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa Venice, where she curated “Algorithmic Signs”, an exhibition that explored the history of pioneering generative art. The central theme of Francesca’s research is the history of art and technology and the pioneers of computer art. A major focus has been the history of the Venice Biennale culminating in a series of publications that have been translated into various languages. Her first solo-authored book, “Generative Systems Art”, was published by Routledge in 2018. Her second monograph, “The Algorithmic Dimension”, was published by Springer in 2022. Her forthcoming book on the history of computer art at the Venice Biennale will be published by Springer in 2024.

Painter, culturally close to Duchamp’s aesthetic nihilism and to strongly conceptual proportions, he analyzes the “space” as a place for the visual-perceptive representation of the forms and the colors. Like John Cage, who had made silence the reason of his musical research, he practices the suspension of the color in order to remove the luminous substance from the light.
