Antonio Poce is a composer and a visual artist. For many years he has integrated music creation with video scripts and graphic arts. After high school he studied composition with Ennio Morricone, Domenico Guaccero and Salvatore Sciarrino.

He got a University Degree in Literature at Sapienza University of Rome with a final thesis on contemporary music language.
Initiator and Artistic Director of Europa Festival (1994-2001), he has given an outstanding contribution to the innovation of Italian artistic programs inviting many influential artists to produce “flash-works”, i. e. original works known for their progressive combination of music, poetry and visual arts.

In 1997, in collaboration with Giovanni Fontana, Giampiero Gemini and Valerio Murat, he founded the group “Hermes Intermedia” which soon gained a leading role in the renewal of audiovisual language.
In 2022, with Valerio Murat, he founded the “Labora Studio”, an incubator and arts production center interconnecting tradition and new technologies in a new intermedial synthesis.
His creative dimension appears as expanded poetry, oriented to decode emotions by integrating different materials and writing techniques. His ideal of beauty tends to simultaneity and the vertigo of a multiple vision.

His works have won prestigious awards at international festivals and institutions.
