arts field by the three founders, Vinicio Bordin, Paolo Ranieri and Rino Stefano Tagliafierro. It develops multimedia projects able to turn the image and
sound experimentation and the research into contents and narrative techniques into
installations and films characterized by a strong and original artistic identity.

We create and realize multimedia projects characterized by a strong and original artistic identity: by the art direction we coordinate the single
professionals and languages involved, from designing the concept to the post production, in order to ensure visual coherence to the whole project.
Each of our works is a narration, that is why we combine image and sound experimentation with the research into contents and narrative techniques,
involving scientific consultants and carrying out a preliminary study of storytelling.
In order to turn the contents and media research into actual multimedia environments, we combine the experience we have gained in the multimedia
setups field with those of architects and interaction designers: thanks to the close relationship between the video production and the architectural and
spatial design we create narrative environments able to build original links with space and public.
We develop contents by the most recent video post production techniques and, by well-established collaborations with sound designers, we design
sound effects that fit the needs of the projects, in total consistency with the general artistic identity.

Karmachina curated the art direction and the realization of the two video installations presented in Salvatore Ferragamo Museum’s “Across art and fashion”. The
exhibition explores the relationship between art and fashion during the last century.
"Reflactions", the video installations that opens the exhibition tells about Salvatore Ferragamo and his footwear. Some of the most representative models are exposed
on a scenic table and weaved together with the threads-made screen behind. While the video projected tells the sources of inspiration that have influenced mostly
Ferragamo’s imaginary, a beam of light lightens the shoes which represents the result of that inspiration.

Karmachina curated the art direction and the realization of the two video installations presented in Salvatore Ferragamo Museum’s “Across art and fashion”. The
exhibition explores the relationship between art and fashion during the last century.
In "The moodboard... A Magazine Curated By" the images projected on the big alluminium rolls evoke the visual universe of some of the most innovative contemporay
fashion designers, putting the visitor in front of an imaginary moodboard in continuous evolution. The video installation is based on an idea of Alberto Salvadori and
is inspired by A Magazine Curated By, the fashion magazine that invites a chosen fashion designer to develop personalized content in each issue to chart an intimate
journey into his creative universe.

Video mapping opera realized for the 33rd International Festival of Music of Portogruaro. Talea turns into

process of decomposition of both image and sound and their permutation into new and original compositions. This process is here presented as the match point of
the 20th century artistic and musical experimentations.

this epochal break: the first one mostly emphasized the formal elements, the second one figures and realism. Brahms WoO tells the influence of Hungarian music in
Brahm's work, seen as a connecting link between different cultural and artistic systems.

dreamlike atmosphere and extreme realism. In Into the white Paradjanov's framings are sectioned into ten canvas: by acquiring a material substance, each of them at
the same time isolates a piece of the original work and takes part in the composition of a new one.
