Profile
Francesco Mariano
Multimedia artist, electroacoustic composer, researcher, lecturer
Multimedia artist, electroacoustic composer and researcher. My research focuses on electroacoustic composition, interactive systems and immersive environments that integrate audio, video and data in real time. I develop Progressive Web Apps as a medium for artistic research and scientific dissemination.
I compose with sound, write code, teach how to listen. Technology is a tool for composition, teaching and research, from data sonification to intangible sound heritage, all the way to artificial intelligence applied to the humanities and to teaching.
