Trying to give a shape to these pages.
Finally I went back to original html web page. The old "personal page". Way much better without all that javascript and cgi around. :) But I should update it as soon as possible(humm this sentence is many months old), now It's a little bit empty. Meanwhile browse my code if you want
About me? what can I say... Born in Milan, I got a graduation in Computer Science while working (tvblob, mala and videomag), traveling around ,hacking and programming. Free software brought me in Norway, Brasil, spain. Now I'm the beautiful city of Saarbruecken(DE) studing Visual Computing.
I strongly believe in the power of technology, and that it should be available, and (ab)usable for everyone.
Anyway I've got other passion, bicycle (take a look at my sweety), monocycle, juggling, flying objects and magic.
I'm a developer of FreeJ. It is a vision mixer: an instrument for realtime video manipulation used in the fields of dance teather, veejaying, medical visualisation and TV. Most of all I constributed with the text layer and ogg/theora video streaming using icecast. (c++ language).
The ball in the hole is a social installation/performance where the user becomes the actor of metamorphosis. The discovering of the self and the legendary mirror to other dimensions is experienced through a real-time tactile digital environment. The Alter is someone else, and the deformation shown is a constant force that the user can apply to his virtual figure.
"Hands on" it's a funny installation I did back in 2005 in Stecca degli artigiani , Milan. Togheter with Matteo Erenbourg and Giacomo Porfiri, we collected hundreds of photo of hands and projected them in an evolving video during the same night. It was very funny. Recently I released all of the 600 photos under a Creative Common licence. Feel free do download them and use them according to the terms of the licence. I did also a video showing the result (the images were projected upside down).
Sometimes I collaborate to some free software project. It happened with the populat bittorrent client transmission, the icecast audio video streaming server and recently also n2n, an interesting p2p virtual private network bypassing firewall using popular skype technique of hole punching.
In the past I did many presentations and workshop on video streaming, freej and free software all around europe.. Take a look at them.
I'm tring to keep my links categorized in a delicious fashion, maybe you could find something useful.
