A Passion for Creativity and Innovation
I’m driven by a deep passion for creativity and innovation. Over the past 25 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to work at the intersection of media, film, art, and technology, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether it's developing groundbreaking audiovisual AI systems that have revolutionized media production or creating immersive visual experiences, I’ve always been inspired by the potential of technology to enhance storytelling and human connection.
Merging Art and Technology
What excites me most is working on cutting-edge projects where art and technology merge. For me, the magic happens when these two worlds collide – creating something far greater than the sum of their parts. I love crafting immersive narratives that transport people, whether that’s through my work on global events like the Olympic opening ceremonies or through the interactive artworks I’ve exhibited at the Venice Biennale. These experiences remind me why I do what I do: to captivate audiences and move them through innovative, visual storytelling.
Collaborating with Industry Leaders
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with leading companies like Apple and Autodesk, helping them refine product design and strengthen market strategies that build lasting customer loyalty. It’s immensely rewarding to know my work has contributed to their market expansion and tripled their reach.
Mentoring the Next Generation
One of the things I value most in my career is the opportunity to mentor and work alongside talented, creative individuals. Leading research centers and academic departments has allowed me to foster the next generation of innovators. I take great pride in the fact that my students have gone on to achieve top-tier honors at international film festivals like Cannes and BAFTA. Watching them succeed is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey.
Global Recognition and Forward-Thinking Vision
My work has been recognized with top international awards, such as the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival and the national Top Science and Technology Award for my research in virtual film production. But beyond the accolades, what drives me is the chance to create something meaningful – to make an impact in the way stories are told, the way technology shapes our lives, and the way we connect as human beings.
Embracing Future Challenges
I’m always excited by the challenges that lie ahead. As technology continues to evolve, so does the potential to tell stories in ways we’ve never imagined. I thrive on collaboration and creativity, and I’m constantly inspired by the brilliant people I get to work with every day. Together, we’re redefining the future of film, art, and technology – and I can’t wait to see what we’ll create next.
