CRIS WAR, by Cristian Guerra

Cristian Guerra, an Italian artist born in 1996, developed a practice that combined music, image, and technology. Active since 2008 as a composer, with tracks played by DJs in different countries, he brought to the visual field a research based on rhythm, repetition, and structure, elements that permeated his audiovisual production.

In 2022, Guerra began signing his works under the name CRIS WAR, a project that marked a change in his trajectory. From that moment on, his practice expanded to collaborations with digital artists linked to the Web3 ecosystem, investigating how sound and image could operate in an integrated manner in digital environments.

His work was organized around questions related to the technological mediation of human experience. The projects observed how identity, presence, and perception were traversed by digital systems, without resorting to illustrative narratives or decorative visual solutions.

In 2024, the artist presented his first collaboration guided by artificial intelligence on the Fellowship’s Daily program, a platform dedicated to contemporary digital art. The following year, he launched data_transform, a series of conceptual videos that circulated widely on social networks. In the project, bodies and gestures were progressively fragmented and converted into visual flows, reflecting the logic of data and algorithms.

Between music, image, and code, CRIS WAR constructed a reading of the present from digital languages, treating technology not as an isolated theme, but as a structural part of the way human relationships have come to be mediated in contemporary daily life.
