Classical pianist and well known as an interpreter of contemporary music
and avant-garde performer, Giusy Caruso has chosen to be artist
researcher. Pianist and post-doctoral researcher (PhD in Arts: Music
Performance), Dr. Giusy Caruso is chair of the research group CREATION
at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp [BE], where she holds workshops on
the analysis, preparation and creation of music performance. She carries
on her artistic activity in important institutions in Europe and in
prestigious halls in Asia, South America, USA. Her projects range from
classical repertoires to the most contemporary electroacoustic
experimentation. Giusy Caruso transforms into synaesthetic poetry the
most recent neuroscience studies on performance gesture, biomechanics,
human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence by becoming
herself an artistic body. She is able to remotely manipulate the sound
of the grand piano with unthinkable devices for a normal concert
practice, by using sensors to capture movements and electrical impulses
in her muscles, as well as virtual and augmented reality systems that
make her play in duet with her avatar in the Metaverse. Any barriers can
thus crumble down by challenging any convention and ultimately create a
new genre of 'phygital' performance. Among numerous awards, such as the
IBLA Grand Prize Special Mention for the interpretation of Olivier
Messiaen's Preludes, in 2023 she gains the prestigious S+T+ARTS Prize
Honorary Mention annually conferred by the European Commission to
pioneering research projects that interface art, technology and science.
