Curriculum Vitae

My academic research focuses on the cultural, social, and theoretical aspects of emerging technologies, with an emphasis on their effects on communication, visual culture, and the arts. I am particularly interested in new media art, especially Game Art. My approach is interdisciplinary, connecting media studies, game studies, visual studies, and art history.
Between 2007 and 2014, I was an Adjunct Professor at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and Oakland, California where I taught graduate and undergraduate courses in the Visual Studies and Visual and Critical Studies programs. In the United States, I worked as an Associate Researcher and as a PostDoc Researcher at Stanford University and at the University of California, Berkeley. Today, I am on the Scientific and Review Board of various academic journals and institutions.
My artistic practice lies at the intersection of video games, cinema, and the web. My work has been exhibited in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, France, Cuba, Switzerland, Japan, Spain, and Italy.
My projects have been featured in The Guardian, The New York Times, Harper's Magazine, Fast Company, Motherboard/Vice, BBC, The Bold Italic, Polygon, The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner, Flash Art, KQED, Hyperallergic, The Atlantic, BusinessWeek, Il Sole 24 Ore, La Repubblica, Il Corriere della Sera, L'Espresso, Rivista Studio, LINK, Business Insider, Radio Popolare, Courier International, Arte Magazine, Dday.it, Swiss Radio Two and TAR.
