Roberto Bocci is a multimedia electronic artist born in Siena, Italy.  Over the past twenty years his work has evolved from painting through photography to computer-driven interactive multimedia installations.  His artistic concerns encompass multiple points of view and questions of personal and social identity.  He has shown his work in America, in Europe, in Japan and Australia. Roberto has been awarded fellowships and grants including a Fulbright Fellowship and Woodstock Photography Grant among others.
