SYNTHETIC WORKSHOPS
Officine Sintetiche is a platform that develops and promotes artistic and creative forms in the field of digital creativity and new media art.
Officine Sintetiche fosters a reciprocal relationship between new professionals in theater, cinema, dance, contemporary art, and music. Performers, artists, and creatives engage with engineers and architects. Within this platform, professionals, artists, faculty, researchers, and students collaborate.
Officine Sintetiche combines research, training, production, and live events within an international cross-sectoral framework that involves businesses, universities, educational institutions, and both public and private entities.
Founded in 2006 by Tatiana Mazali, Antonio Pizzo, and Vanessa Vozzo, Officine Sintetiche emerged from the collaboration between the University of Turin – Faculty of Education (MultiDams and CIRMA), the Polytechnic University of Turin – Department of Cinema and Media Engineering, and Servi di Scena opus rt/Malafestival.
Currently, Officine Sintetiche is promoted by the University of Turin – Department of Humanities/DAMS/CIRMA, the Polytechnic University of Turin – Department of Cinema and Media Engineering, and the Turin Conservatory, with the support of public and private entities, particularly the CRT Foundation.
The founding core of the project, always open to new partners, has expanded to include a broad and diverse network of support and collaborations.
