Ultravioletto is an interaction design studio that thrives at the intersection of design, architecture, storytelling, and installations, seamlessly blending them with cutting-edge technologies.
With a deep sensitivity for experimentation and expressive research, Ultravioletto transforms communication projects and artistic works alike, shaping immersive experiences that blur the lines between art and new media. Its interactive installations, performances, and multisensory environments merge analog and digital realms, crafting a unique language that elevates engagement and redefines the boundaries of perception.
ABOUT US
The studio is passionate about sharing knowledge. That’s why, in 2017, Ultravioletto Edu was born—a platform dedicated to fostering art and science collaborations while teaching Interaction Design in both public and private institutions.

ACTIVITIES
ACADEMIC COURSES
INTENSIVE WORKSHOP
CONFERENCE AND TALK
Ultravioletto designs university courses where students master interactive installations and media environments, gaining hands-on experience with tools like TouchDesigner, Processing, Unity, Blender and Unreal through real-world projects.
The Studio designs and organizes intensive workshops on a specific topic. The goal is to focus on one aspect of a software or on the realization of a project. Workshops of different complexity and which may require both the student's previous experience but also a total inexperience with the tools covered.
Ultravioletto breaks down its own experience of interaction designer. A complex and exhaustive storytelling of the execution of a project, from conception to production. The studio also participates in expert panels on specific issues such as design and new media.
RUFA, Rome University of Fine Arts, is a multidisciplinary, international educational centre, offering authoritative, innovative courses in the field of Art, Design and Communication.
Since 2017 the University activated the Multimedia Arts and Design master.
Ultravioletto is involved in this course teaching TouchDesigner, Processing, OpenFrameworks and all the tools the students need to let their creativity flow. These photos and videos are some of the most remarkable results of the students projects realized during the master.

CASE STUDY
Academic Course - RUFA
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the creative world, opening new possibilities for artists, designers, and digital innovators. In this introductory workshop, we will explore Stable Diffusion, one of the most advanced tools for AI-generated imagery.
Through a mix of theory and hands-on sessions, we will learn how to use this technology to create unique images, customize styles, and integrate AI into creative workflows. Whether you’re an illustrator, a graphic designer, or simply curious about the potential of AI, this workshop will provide you with the foundations to start experimenting with Stable Diffusion in an informed and innovative way.

CASE STUDY
Intensive Workshop - Exploring Creativity with Artificial Intelligence
T.U.M.O. is the acronym for “total unnecessary moving object” the title of this unique workshop held at IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) as part of the interior design course.
The students are invited to explore the meaning of a evolving environment and develop a project from the concept to the visualization and schematics.
The results are all these beautiful kinetic prototype.

CASE STUDY
Intensive Workshop - Arduino / kinetic sculptures
The workshop aims to give the basic tools to approach generative graphics through Processing. Best cases will be analyzed by understanding their design and implementation approach.
The activity will be aimed at developing a generative graphics poster: starting from data collection, we will try to write an "empathic algorithm" with the sense of the values collected.
At the end of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to print their work and have a code ready to be expanded, modified and reused.

CASE STUDY
Intensive Workshop - creative coding for generative graphics
This workshop has the goal of experimenting storytelling by mixing virtual and real techniques. Through this experience the participants will have the opportunity to create a living micro-world thanks to augmented reality.
During the workshop techniques such as 3d papercraft, stop motion and video mapping will be used to create animated worlds inspired by Italo Calvino’s book “Invisible cities”.

CASE STUDY
Intensive Workshop - projection mapping
TouchDesigner is one of the most powerful visual programming language for real time interactive multimedia content. The workshop is focused on the use of this tool for live performances that combines interaction with visuals projected on the stage. Students will learn to trace the performer's movements by acquiring their spatial coordinates. Translate this information to edit generative visuals in real time.
