[Lucas Bambozzi]

Dear 

Despite my big silence on this list here is my bio. Paraphrasing Menotti, I am also a proud participant on the lurker category – it is against my will, sorry. 

All the best from Brazil.

Interests/ fields of activity include "cinema" and grassroots media. I often mingle research and practice, and thus ended up organising pirate screenings, remix film festivals, videogame championships, porn screenplay workshops, installations with film projectors, generative art exhibitions, academic seminars, and collective 3d-printed model-making sessions, among other things. Some of these works and research results have been presented in events such as ISEA, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid, Makeart, Interactivos?!, the São Paulo Biennial and Transmediale.

Currently, I’m back in my home town, lecturing at the local Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES).
