“His work in digital video and performance was a key to the symposium’s international scope, and proved exemplary as to how a multiplicity of approaches to the new art of performance cinema provides a deeper understanding of many aspects of performance cinema - form, content, political, global, etc.” (Henry Warwick, curator SFPCS San Francisco Performance Cinema Symposium 2003.

“What I particularly like about Bello’s work is it has great variety in style, theme and concepts, and this allows a newer observer of contemporary digital art to appreciate a diverse range of works. The different projects give an insight into what is possible with the application of new technologies to New Media Art.” (Graeme Watson, Professional Development and Training Manager - Film and Television Institute WA Australia)

“I believe that the work has redeeming educational merit. It is insightful and unique and is of interest to anyone involved in the contemporary creative arts.” (Dr P. E. Mudie, Discipline Chair - Visual Arts, Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts University of Western Australia)
