I am an independent immersive video maker, digital artist and creative technologist based in Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my work, I like to explore the boundaries between technology, communication and art in video and everything related to it.
Video installations are fascinating to me too, connecting visitors to operas and making sense only with people: the magical space in between <\/em>can let users moving in with gestures based on natural interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I graduated from University many years ago, with a final thesis about VideoArt and Social Activism (Major of Sciences of Communication). Shortly after, I started shooting and editing videos and working on video installation. Few years later, I\u2019ve founded Motion Pixel Studio, a creative video production agency. Meanwhile, I completed my doctorate in Cultural Heritage at Politecnico di Torino, focusing my activity in renewing digital archives and video installation of some museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching is also part of my experience: I have taught courses on video editing\/post-production and videoart, interactive video and installation. Among other places, I have taught these course at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Novara, IED \u2013 Istituto Europeo di Design, Politecnico di Torino and Scuola Holden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from September 2018 until March 2019 I worked in one of the most interesting project I ever did: a VR movie shot in an italian prison, with a very talented director, Milad Tanghsir. In this project I did the 360\u00b0 photography and post-production, but the inheritance that I carry with me goes beyond the technical aspect, and has to do with the people and situations I have met and the questions that I have asked myself, about major issues such as freedom, detention etc\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of VR FREE was based on the immersive potential of VR, able to create bridges between the jail time and space and the outside world, building interesting connection between the two sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VR FREE is now out and ready to go into Festivals all around the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m proud to share this new VR project: I worked on it during last 6months!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senegal Detour is a 360 VR experience about climate change, environment and agricolture in Senegal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change is a global phenomenon however, its effects vary widely around the world, depending on ecosystems and economies. In Senegal, they cause great problems for people, environment and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rediscovery of the cultivation of fonio which is one of the oldest cereals in Africa and a highly nutritious cereal that requires little water to grow, could be one response to the challenges of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 There is also an in interesting work on audio made by Mattia Meloni<\/strong> with a double track: head-locked binaural audio for some things and stereo track for other things. Some voices and ambient audio follows the viewer to increase immersivity, other audio tracks are fixed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve worked on this during a 2-weeks travel all across Senegal with Luca Puzzangara<\/strong>, a journalist that has realised the related documentary \u201cContro Coltura\u201d, in a transmedia project called \u201cButterfly Effect\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butterfly Effect project, a European Union project funded by COP (Consorzio delle ONG Piemontesi) via \u201cFrame, Voice, Report!\u201d and it is made in collaboration with Nutri-Aid International<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cL\u2019Aventure. R\u00e9cits de voyage\u201d is project that reflects about migrants and their trip from home to Europe, focusing on the microcosm of Mali people in Turin, Italy: malianian migrants talks about their migration experience inserted in landscapes and situations of their own country. That idea started from a collaboration with an Italian NGO called \u201cEngim Internazionale\u201d in a project called \u201cProteja\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

In this video I worked with 360\u00b0 images and videos, shoot in Mali and Italy and mixed, also with audio and video interviews I made with many persons that came from Mali. The result is extremely interesting, you can hear and watch people counting their stories in some different scenarios, some full of life and others almost abandoned, and hear directly by them words something about their trip. Trip can be extremely long, painful and dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tis project is done with the precious collaboration of Andrea De Georgio (interviews in Italy), Michele Cattani (video 360 in Mali) and Francesco Cretti (music). Also, I\u2019d like to thank people talked to me, letting me know their stories, at least just a bit, due to the complexity and the force of the situation: in random order are Bako Sissoko, Yacouba Kone, Kanda Kouyate, Mariam Ciss\u00e9, Oumar Sanogo, Nomago Haly, Diane Soumaila, Moussa Kanti, Genevra Coulibaly and Kekoto Coulibaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic Arc Live is an interactive installation made expressly for an interesting museum in Turin named PAV \u2013 Parco d\u2019Arte Vivente. The goal of the installation is to refresh the archive with a simplified fruition for the people in the museum, giving the archive of the museum, from past exhibition to events and forums hosted to the people. Organic Arch Live allows a creative use of the archive, made for generic public, with main information packed in a simple and well-looking short videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can explore handy cards, expressively projected for the installation, with images and a short text about past exhibition and events. For every card a video show information about the exhibit, with completely automatic on\/off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
