Exhibit IDII 2005

June 2005
Our two long years in Ivrea ended with the exhibition of our projects in Torino, a strange location, the soon to be open underground parking. We transformed the location to create an interesting space in 24 hours. It was exhausting yet fun experience.

I have finished the thesis investigation InstantShareCam where I looked into the new opportunities for video sharing and collaborative video creation. I would like to continue the investigation into making products that are out there commercially. So, if you are interested in exploring new modes of photo/video sharing and collaborative video making by way of P2P, I would like to hear from you.

My interest lies in designing projects that create an engaging experience to users in furthering their creativity and their quality of life through digital media.
