⚗️ Side Projects
The most recent project I made was Autopsychografia, for Andrea Conangla.
"Autopsychografia" (2024)
A multimedia experience for a contemporary music album with interactive audio and visual elements, where you can listen to the songs on a music player, but also play sounds, loop and mix pieces, and even use the microphone to interact.
The following are two recent media art projects by Santa France which I implemented on the web. I recommend reading the curator notes on their respective galleries. Keep in mind these are desktop-only.
"The Rupture I" (2020)
Interactive 3D web collage with ThreeJS. Exhibited on Immersive RIXC - "Sensoria"
🎧 Headphones recommended.
"Beyond the Call of Duty" (2021)
Interactive artwork of 120 frames on a canvas. Exhibited on Transmediale - "For Refusal"'.

💬 About
I have a habit of tracking and making lists for lots of things.
📽️ I keep track of all the good, bad and ugly movies I watch on Letterboxd. One of my everlasting goals is to watch every Nicolas Cage movie.
🎵 Music is very important. I'm regularly attending live music events and spending time discovering new music. I love playing with my Volca synths, making playlists on Spotify, and sometimes DJing.
🎮 I've been playing a bunch of videogames since I was a kid. Nowadays I play mostly indie games because they're usually the most innovative. Of course I also have a list of my all-time favorites.
It's me!
