TRIBE | Transmedia Artist, Video Light & Mapping Designer
Lucca Del Carlo is a graphic designer and video artist from São Paulo, Brazil. He is a founding member of the Brooklyn, NY based multidisciplinary arts collective TRIBE, which received a New York Times Critic’s Choice, CROSS Award, and a Bessie Nomination for BLACK HOLE – Trilogy And Triathlon. He has created the lighting and video mapping projections for numerous performance works and has toured and performed live with the collective in many countries all over the world. He specializes in transmedia, mixing cinema techniques, concepts of architecture, visual arts, light design, and technology, and integrating those into the direction and creation of scenography, immersive environments and visual live shows. In his view, all ways of visual communication have interlacing points, not only using technology but also using human cognition and its related censorial illusions. Del Carlo’s specialty is mixing it in new ways to inspire and break common patterns in visual expression. He describes his work as an inversion of Georges Méliès fused with the spirit of German Expressionism. While Méliès translated stagecraft and illusions into the language of film, Del Carlo does the opposite: takes the cinematic illusions and the dramatic chiaroscuro of Expressionism and translates them back onto the stage.
