le macchine inutili @ the Visionario | Green Spot Festival

Hi everyone, I was busy in the last weeks. Sorry for the late post! Last weekend I was at home to visit my parents and to relax and EAT. It was just a 3-day trip, because I had to come back to do a workshop about green advertising (www.greenspotfestival.com)
Now I'm posting some photos that I took at the opening of our new project "Le macchine inutili" at the Visionario in Udine. I want to thank to Maurizio Faleschini who worked so hard to built 2 of the original Bruno Munari's Useless Machines! You can see them at the entrance, they are exectly as the original ones, just like 30 times bigger! They look amazing, one of them is 6 meters long, incredible! We worked very well together, it was sometimes hard, and at the end I was tired of everything, but it was also a lot of fun. And I also want to thank to all who came to see/or will come to see our exhibition. It's free and it remains open until november 29! In the meantime we are already working in a new project + the calendar is coming, and more :)

> this was one of my work: 'Optical Disturb' which I made with the help of Maurizio Faleschini
I'm very proud of it because I managed to create exactly what I imagined!

refused - music@360

I have recently designed a logo for a musical event "music@360" sponsored by the municipality of Udine (Officine Giovani - Comune di Udine). This was a proposal that they refused but I liked much more: it is simple and clear! I have completely redesigned the "@" in a way that formed a kind of CD icon.
-
Now I'm working on the proposal that they chose: we need to do all the comunication-promotion materials - flyers, posters, and also a CD cover and a booklet! I'm trying to do some great illustrations that could capture the young people's attention.
-
The event "music@360" will include meetings, workshops, lectures about music business. The final goal is to learn how to produce a musical CD from the beginning and how to be a successful musician/singer or group.

le macchine inutili

I'm in a Bruno Munari project!!! Our group of young graphic designers, Officine Creative, is working on a new exhibition which will held in october in Udine. We are constructing some "Macchine Inutili"/Useless Machines to celebrate one of our greatest artists and designers: Bruno Munari. The original Useless Machines were constructed of painted cardboard or other lightweight materials, they were meant to integrate with the sorrounding environment through their kinetic action. Now it's our work to invent new ways to create some installations! I have already done something but in the next week I'm going to do another project with the help of my teacher, Maurizio Faleschini! The first is (of course) a typoghraphic project, and the second is an optical installation inspired by the famous hungarian artist Victor Vasarely.

La consistenza del sogno - The dreamers weave / We have a dream

This was the first time ever that I made a video :) OK it is more like a slideshow, but I think I was able to express my opinion about this project...Thanks to Nicola for helping me!

I made a kind of typographic video about my interpretation about what dreams really are...

Video installation in Udine at the Loggia del Lionello (piazza Libertà)

From 14/02/2009 for about a month there was a video projection of 90 young graphic designers' work about the "Consistency of the Dream" (La consistenza del sogno)

Here is an article about the event:
