BIOGRAPHY

Giosuè Prochilo is a cross-disciplinary creative and educator, working with music, voice, words, visual art and design.

As a musician, he has worked as a composer for theatre and brands, and as a songwriter in his own band, Arc of Sun, for which he also contributes vocals, lyrics, and production duties. As a singer, he performs and records in both baritone and tenor ranges, drawing influences from rock, classical, and world music styles, including Indian and Flamenco vocal techniques. He has published songs performed in English, Italian, and Latin languages.

Fascinated by the synthesis of music and visual art (both still and motion), his audiovisual works layer often symbolic and metaphorical subject matter with universal archetypes in intensified forms of multi-sensory communication. His art commonly seeks to peel the veneer from the mundane and reveal obscured systems to transform beliefs and raise levels of conscious awareness. Whether applying mathematical patterns of sacred geometry or decrypting archaic symbols into modern guises, his multiform artistic vision is a blend of sensory expressions that often revolve around a common center: the pursuit of transcendence.

His expressive work is initially a purification ritual and a mirror for healing. His vocation as an artist is to firstly purge himself through his work and then give comprehensible form to his inner workings, for the purpose of personal healing, and then to share the transformative potential of creative depth work with others. The codes he has deciphered are woven throughout his work, inviting fellow seekers to join him in opening to the Beyond.

With senior experience working professionally as a communication designer at notable Melbourne design agencies and for national brand identity campaigns, he has also run his own small design organisations working as a creative director for over a decade. His current design business, EX-ZERŌ, is focused on brand strategy and identity design, alongside the creation of custom multi-sensory artworks and experiential design outcomes for a range of clients.

His passion for creative education extends to over a decade of sessional lecturing and unit leadership in the Design department at Monash University in Melbourne. As a PhD canditate, he has undertaken significant research in multi-sensory design for wellbeing, exploring the therapeutic nature of creativity, with additional specialisations in psychology and existential philosophy.
