Fazio_Roberto

I’m a visual artist, interaction designer and educator based in Florence. My work is mainly influenced by art, design and technology, and in recent years my artistic research focuses on experimentation with interactive installations that explore the natural occurrences commonly elusive as solar flares, earthquakes, climate and space missions aiming to create visual experiences developed following paths and sensory perception.

Highly motivated to share my knowledge and experiments, I promote interdisciplinary initiatives on the theme of interactivity organizing advanced educational projects in the arts and contemporary technology. I hold and organize workshops, residencies and discussions at universities, Festival, private organizations, institutions such as: Universidad Autónoma de Occidente Cali, Colombia, Circle of Lights organized by Creative Applications, Domus Academy Milano, FabLab, Mira Festival, Telenoika WS, ZZZINC, Kernel Festival, LPM and many more.

As Creative Technologist I collaborate with Artists, Creative Coder and Interaction Designer in the process of R&D by developing Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality solutions, Mobile Apps and Videogames. I’m a professor at IED Firenze ( Visual Design and UI & UX Design ) and IUAV Venice ( Interaction Design )
From 2008 to 2010 I was a founding member of the collective Apparati Effimeri, experimenting with new Projection Mapping techniques, then I followed an artistic and individual reasearch creating Roberto Fazio Studio.
