Multimedia Artist & Researcher
Sound, data, and cultural heritage
through interactive technologies and AI.
Electroacoustic composition, interactive systems, immersive environments. Exploring the intersections of sound, artificial intelligence, and cultural heritage through Progressive Web Applications.
Featured research
Soundscape Annotation
An open source research ecosystem that brings human listening and machine listening into dialogue. A Python toolkit for computational soundscape analysis, the first-hand annotation PWA Soundscape Annotation Atelier and a working paper published on Zenodo share a 128-term controlled vocabulary across 8 taxonomies, from Schaeffer to Wishart.
The resulting six-stage teaching workflow is adopted in courses at the Academy of Fine Arts of Macerata and at the G.B. Martini Conservatory of Bologna, where the divergences between ear and machine become teaching material and system calibration.

PWA as a medium
Why Progressive Web Applications are the ideal tool for research and artistic creation.
Universal access
Available on any device, no installation required. Ideal for research dissemination.
Offline capable
Usable in exhibition, museum and field contexts where connectivity is not guaranteed.
Native interactivity
Web Audio API, sensors, geolocation, computer vision. The browser as a research platform.
AI integration
Semantic analysis, data sonification, algorithmic generation. Artificial intelligence in service of the humanities.
Collaborations & research
Open to collaborations with cultural institutions, universities and research centers.
