@Burning Man 2009
Christian Cerrito is a New York based artist and educator interested in fusing interactive technologies with traditional artistic practices. Coming from a background involving drawing, jewelry design, animation, and high-end construction, Cerrito has dabbled in many mediums, methods, and ideas. Much of his recent work has been focused around the ideas of “social” interactions between people and technology, art making collaborations between humans and robots, and in using simple systems to re-imagine public spaces.
Cerrito holds a B.A. in Sociology from Tufts University, Boston, and a B.F.A. in Studio Art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Additionally, he recently received his Masters Degree in Interactive Technologies from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, where he is currently employed as a Resident Researcher in the fields of physical computing and solar technology.
Cerrito’s work has been featured at institutions such as the New York Hall of Science (Queens, NY), the Telfair Museum of Art (Savannah, GA), the MIT Media Lab (Cambridge, MA), and at the 2009 Burning Man Festival (Black Rock City, NV).
