back    Azzurro Studio Multi Media Artist Group Studio Azzurro was founded in Milan, Italy, in 1982 as a production workshop for artistic videos. This artists’ group is considered a pioneer in the development and realization of interactive video installations and staging. The team was established by Fabio Cirifino (photography), Paolo Rosa (visual arts), and Leonardo Sanglorgi (graphics and animation), and Stefano Roveda (interactive systems) joined it in 1995. In its works Studio Azzurro explores the threshold between the material and the immaterial. The artists’ team constructs worlds in which viewers are shown the imperceptible transition between naturalness and artificiality, enabling them at the same time to experience a new dimension of seeing and perceiving. Studio Azzuro first came to international attention in 1984, when their work Il nuotatore (The swimmer) was shown at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice. Since then they have realized more than fifty video works, including interactive works, and presented numerous productions for theater and film, for example, at documenta 8 in Kassel. Studio Azzurro has made varied video and television programs in Italy and abroad, organized workshops and seminars, and published numerous writings. In 2004 Tamburi at the Forum Neues Musiktheater and again in collaboration with the FNM in 2005 Tamburi at the Landesvertretung Baden-Württemberg in Berlin.
