Life and work
Del Favero was born in Sydney of Italian migrants from Cadore. He completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies in philosophy, art at the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales and the University of Technology, Sydney.[1] Del Favero's work explores the unpredictable relationship between the human and the non-human worlds,[2], utilizing digital media and Artificial Intelligence.[3] His recent work is particularly interested in exploring the way one might live in a world increasingly dominated by this unacknowledged yet fundamental relationship [4][5][6] and how it reveals itself in everyday life, from refugees seeking safety to the experience of extreme events.[7][8][9][10]
His work has been extensively curated internationally for group exhibitions such as Future Design, Experimenta Center, Heilbronn; SIGGRAPH Asia, 2019, 2018 & 2013; The Art of Immersion, ZKM, Karlsruhe, 2017; Düsseldorf & Cologne Open, Galerie Brigitte Schenk, 2017; Sydney Film Festival, 2016 & 2011; ISEA, 2016 & 2013; Art Cologne, Cologne, 2018, 2016, 2014 & 1995; Videonale, Kunstmuseum Bonn, 2014 & 2005; ''Biennale of Architecture, Rotterdam, 2009; Imagining Media@ZKM, Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, 2009; Biennial of Australian Art, Adelaide, 2008; Artescienza: Spazio Deformato, Casa dell'Architettura, Rome, 2006; Cinemas du Futur, Euralille, 2004; Future Cinema, Kiasma Museum for Contemporary Art, Helsinki; (dis)Locations, ACMI - Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne, 2001; Fotofeis, Edinburgh & Glasgow, 1998; and Kriegszustand, Battle of the Nations War Memorial, Leipzig, 1996.
