nicola stumpo


nicola stumpo (25)
is the only one of the three with an artistic background
- after art-oriented high school, he enrolled at the fine art
academy, but didn’t finish.

stumpo became fascinated by the creative possibilities
of web design, when he saw an animated butterfly on the first
edition of ‘theremediproject.com’, and for the past five years
he has been working on the web.

he used to draw cartoons when he was a child,
small animated puppets are a significant part of his communicative
repertoire, fantastic beings to which stumpo has given a soul.

now creative director of the 'quam' agency in milan,
stumpo's clients include MTV, renault , l’oréal and condé nast .

this last year he won first prize at 'flash forward' in san francisco
for the best motion graphic project and took home four
'macromedia site of the day’ awards.
in 2000 he was named ‘macromedia best developer’ and he
is a past recipient of the ‘media star internet award’ and
the ‘internet key award’.
stumpo's personal work has been shown at the biennale exhibitions
in tirana and valencia, at the world wide web exhibition in sao paolo,
brasil and two on-line exhibitions at ‘theremediproject.com’.
he also created a ‘cover’ for the prestigious japanese ezine ‘shift ‘,
and collaborates with the community ‘surfstation.lu’.

'right now it seems that artistic experimentation on the web has
stopped,' says stumpo 'from the point of view of visual programming,
we have reached the point where the web is ‘limping’,
you can’t go beyond the limits set by connections and speeds.'
