Portfolio: Nuno Correia

Posted on May 1, 2007 by Nuno Correia

It would be interesting if the participants in the course and blog presented themselves / their work / their interests, under the “portfolio” category.

I’m interested in interactive and generative audio-visual expression. My personal/index website is www.nunocorreia.com. My research blog is: blog.videojackstudios.com. Besides older webdesign work, I’ve been developing  audio-video projects using Flash, as Video Jack (with André Carrilho). A couple of examples:

AVOL (2007): net.art/instalation/performances (ActionScript 3.0/sound)
Heat Seeker (2006): CD-DVD/performances
