"The Digital Media Center for the Arts collected all the digitally oriented artists from many disciplines and put us under one roof. It was like an ongoing class, with the DMCA crew as our advisers. When I returned to the Graphic Design Loft with book covers printed on canvas, and prints on etching paper I would get responses like 'where the hell did you get that done.'"
John Caserta is a Providence-based artist specializing in graphic design and photography. His projects are medium non-specific, but tend toward books and online presentations. As a Fulbright Fellow, John spent 2005 creating a time capsule documenting a small Italian village, Montenero Valcocchiara. He is putting together a book of his findings which will be located in Montenero and also exist virtually at Montenerovillage.it. The online version will comprise a catalog of downloadable images that the Montenerese can use to produce copies for themselves.
As a professional graphic designer, John has produced interactive and print projects with major media companies such as National Geographic Interactive, The New York Times, The Alternative Pick, Macromedia, Visa USA and O’Globo (Brazil).
He is an adjunct faculty member in The Rhode Island School of Design's graduate graphic design department.
