Cultural heritage and digital humanities
Data sonification, intangible sound heritage, interactive installations, AI applied to sacred texts and cultural documentation.
Research lines and projects developed within institutional contexts.
AI and sacred texts
AI-assisted hermeneutic analysis, interactive graphs of connections between spiritual traditions, conceptual data sonification. ITSERR/RESILIENCE project with UNIMORE.
Sound heritage and soundscape
Documentation and valorization of soundscapes, with field recording, geolocated archives and deep listening exercises. Adopted at Conservatory and Academy of Fine Arts.
Installations and generative systems
Interactive audiovisual environments where sound translates into light, gesture modulates timbre, and text fragments into algorithmic variations. Computer vision, dynamic scores, participatory performance.
Selected demos
Research projects available as Progressive Web Applications.
Terra Viva
