AZZURRO-Milano

ASTAR (Associazione Studio Azzurro Ricerca) is a centre for artistic video experimentation and production; it was founded in 1982 by Fabio Cirifino (photography), Paolo Rosa (visual arts and cinema), Leonardo Sangiorgi (graphics and animation) and was joined in 1995 by Stefano Roveda, as expert in interactive systems.

The research performed by ASTAR is focused on creating “sensitive environments” where technology, narration and space are blended together, creating a mix between the man-machine and a relationship between man and man.

ASTAR areas of research are not limited to video, but also include cinema, theatre, musical theatre, and dance. With all, narrative and visual cuesa present to generate moments of straightforward and visionary contacts between different media. Furthermore, ASTAR has also made many documentaries on such artists, and has carried out work in the field of training and teaching through workshops and seminars (Essays and critical works). Around twenty persons collaborate with ASTAR .www.studioazzurro.com
