Design Research / New Media Design|Performing Arts | Digital Cinema

Since their introduction in 2006, live transmissions of performing arts in cinemas have become a rising phenomenon worldwide. Opera broadcasts, as the most popular form, are still exploring the possibilities and particularities of the medium. The design problem lies in the translation of the opera experience from the Opera House to remote cinemas worldwide, which can be understood as a translation of time and space. Because the opera experience not only involves the opera performance itself but how the whole event is framed, the paratexts are definitive in the reception of the performance. In cinemas, the 'paratexts' are the audiovisual contents that surround the opera performance itself. They are able to contextualize the opera experience, which constitutes a relevant subject for design research that has not been analyzed in depth until now. This study attempts to fill that gap. It proposes some design principles for the different practical solutions.

​

In order to understand the opera paratexts in cinemas, this study analyses in detail the catalyst product of its kind, the Live in HD series of the Metropolitan Opera of New York. The research involves a holistic understanding of the design problem, and content analysis of the paratexts in the Live in HD series. The initial results of this analysis showed the complexity of the subject, which were first classified in four categories: events, spaces, objects and people. The limitations of this classification led to the concept of A Pattern Language as a more accurate system for presenting the results. This research proposes seven patterns composed of invariants and solutions. The aim of this thesis is to contribute with a specific insight into this emergent field of practice and study that could benefit practitioners and scholars.

"Fundación Ivonne Andrea" is a Colombian, private and non-profit organization available to disadvantaged groups. Since its creation I took the lead on communications, which involves visual identiy, graphic design of promotional material for events and its social media presence. I have successfully designed and organized two programs: the fundraising and sponsorship project "Abrázame" (give me a hug) and the informal educational program "Una tarde con ..." (an evening with). Where prominent guests (such as writers, musicians, etc.) teach the children in the land area of 'Pasca' certain experience and knowledge. Also in 2013, I organized a charity concert in Nuremberg where I played with other musicians to raise funds.

It is now standard practice for museums and libraries to have a website to support public interaction with the institution. Most library and museum websites feature dedicated virtual spaces for children, however many of these sites are not specifically designed for this target market. Instead, they are often a more colourful version of an institution's website for adults. For this reason, a focused and purposeful intervention

Young Readers Circle is an online database of children's literature that has been articulated in the form of an interactive illustrative website. The project uses the main feature of the Internet: the possibility of ongoing connections, by promoting a virtual community. This feature allows the user to explore the map of the community, to find new books and testimonials from others as well read and submit personal comments. To provide a meaningful interactive experience, the project will focus on a detailed analysis of content, medium and audience.

My responsabilities on this project include: Concept, research, sketches, illustrations, interface design, demo development.
