Short Bio

I graduated in electronic engineering with a thesis in computer music. I am the founder and art director at anughea studios associates. I also teach at the Brera Academy in Milan, the Academy of Fine Arts and the Opera Academy in Verona.

I experiment with new technologies for artistic expressions, even if not properly codified, which can be used in the cultural and marketing fields.

I am the creator and co-author of the European projects in artistic and cultural heritage fields.

I manage workshops on artificial intelligence, metaverses, motion tracking, interactive videomapping, audio-visual design, interaction design, creative coding, generative art, animation and virtual scenography.
