Jacopo is a media designer with a multidisciplinary approach. Currently studying at Piet Zwart Institute's Experimental Publishing Master, he's active in the field of communication. His practice combines creative direction and organization of various types of events, sided by creating their visual identity - both in printed and digital form. His visual research derives from taking a closer look at the habits and occurrences of the ordinary-everyday life. A boundless groundwork exploring and translating the human trace into aesthetic matter. Well-reasoned or accidental pictures, drawings made during a long call, typography inspired from an old disco sticker and any-kind-of-unusual-collected material could be part of his imaginative and productive process. He's co-founder of Amphibia, an artistic platform working at the intersection of nightlife entertainment and visual research, focusing on printed matter and solid aesthetics in an effort to comprehend and expand the wholesomeness of the cultural experience, today.
