The seminar aims to stimulate personal and professional creativity in manufacturing a live media performance art work based on the use of the body (which is the starting and ending point of any live art project) in relation to interaction design devices, technology and live cinema philosophy.

Francesca Fini is an interdisciplinary artist mainly focused on new media, experimental cinema and performance art. She lives and works in Rome. The focus of her work is always the body and its own narrative power, but inserted in a sort of exuberant “multimedia pot” where live videoart pieces are mixed with generative audio, lo-fi technologies and homemade interaction design devices, with handicraft masks, bizarre costumes and feminist steam-punk props popping out everywhere.
