Manuel Fois Glitch Art Exhibition at Galleria Macca in Cagliari

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Since 2016, Manuel Fois has been researching glitch language, drawing from cymatics—the science of sound wave vibrations—to convert audio recordings into digital images transferred onto canvas. Using graphite of varying hardness, he transforms sounds captured in diverse indoor and outdoor locations into rigorous, concrete works. His practice references 1970s analytical painting and aligns with the London-based New Aesthetic, a visual language merging virtual and real through digital technology. The exhibition at Galleria Macca in Cagliari presents this body of work.
