PART ONE
biography

Michelangelo (encapsuled) is an Italian (a)semantic language artist. He uses both conventional and asemic language in his work. He believes in art as communication, considering the audience and the context as part of the experience. His core themes are meaning and simplicity. Currently he's working on a few projects that combine physical and digital form.

He started publishing works in 2021 with several writing projects and has since been featured in publications such as the tickle, txt.art by Redlion, Breezy, and Artblocks Minters & Makers.

His most recent focus is on asemic writing. He released 'Your Story' on Artblocks, a collection where all tokens (or rather pages) combined form a book, available also printed to the collectors. The interpretation of this book is up to the imagination of the viewer, always telling a different story.

He created 'Manifesto', in collaboration with Breezy's initiative 'Criticize By Creating'. Manifesto is a piece that comments on the loss of critical thinking and individuality of the contemporary society. When scanned in AR through Artivive it reveals the six dystopic statements that compose it.

Other recent releases are 'Chronicles' with VerticalCryptoArt during the ProofOfPeople festival in NYC, 'Indaco' for the Indigo show at NFT Factory Paris, 'Loss' that has been part of the Digital Art Spring auction by Pandolfini, and 'Endless Dialogue' that was exhibited in Rome and Lisbon as part of NFTCC.

In the crypto-writers space, encapsuled created 'Dialogue Capsules', where he gathered a word from each collector as a prompt for the next piece of dialogue. Together the pieces formed one unique conversation between two characters. Other projects include 'Disegni di Poesia' and '28', poetry with the text stored directly on the blockchain leveraging his own custom smart contracts.
