| Born in Monza in 1952, Canali worked initially as a painter. At the beginning of the 1980s he began to integrate electronic elements into his work and in 1985 founded the electronic art research group CorrentiMagnetiche with the musician Riccardo Sinigaglia, in what became a lasting partnership. Canali's work always pays particular attention to the association of sound and image. In 1992 he began to work with virtual reality, his chosen medium for deepening the aspect of his poetics by which each work tries to establish a particularly individual, intimate contact with its interlocutor - for example the Sartori installation, which received an award at the Video Art Festival of Locarno. The technical virtuosity makes his work visibly simple and extremely pure - as in Gates, which received the Prix Ars Electronica of Linz in 1988. |  |
