MIXED REALITIES - Compilation

Francesco Misceo

MIXED REALITIES - Compilation

Generative art
Architecture
Dynamic

Mixed Realities is a short film exploring the fusion of contemporary dance, new media art, and the architectural landscape of Metz. Through projection mapping and digital technologies, the city’s historic facades become dynamic, responsive surfaces that interact with the moving body. At its core, the project places the human body at the center of technological experimentation. Movement generates and transforms digital environments, creating a seamless dialogue between physical presence and virtual extension. Technology functions not as spectacle, but as a poetic tool, amplifying gesture, light, and space.

Presented at the Festival Constellations de Metz, the film reflects the festival’s vision of art in public space, where heritage and innovation converge. Mixed Realities ultimately proposes an immersive experience in which architecture, sound, and choreography merge into a single, fluid dimension. Presented in partnership with the Musée de La Cour d’Or – Eurométropole de Metz.

Francesco Misceo

Italy

Francesco Misceo is a multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Modena, Italy, whose practice blends experimental contemporary dance, digital arts, and new media. Trained as a professional dancer at the Peridance Center in New York in partnership with La Capriola Centro Danza in Modena, Francesco Misceo also honed his expertise in graphic design and visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. This dual training has shaped a unique artistic methodology, in which choreography is not limited to movement but explores the interactions between the human body, space-time, and digital tools to create a visual and sensory poetry where play and imagination become universal languages. His work aims to repurpose contemporary technologies, transforming them into creative partners rather than mere tools. In this way, he transforms the stage into a dynamic ecosystem, where the audience is invited to participate in an immersive and interactive experience.

Francesco Misceo has been the winner of the 2025 Videocittà Awards (“Creator” Award in Rome). He has also made a name for himself with interactive installations such as “Mixed Realities” (Art City × Plug Radio, Bologna) and “Beyond The Echo” (Nxt Museum × Rosewood, Amsterdam). His works have been exhibited in Times Square (New York), at Art Basel Miami (Trippy Lab Exhibition), and at the Constellations Festival in Metz, where he fused performance and multimedia. He has also collaborated with renowned companies such as Aterballetto (Roberto Tedesco), MN Dance Company (Slovenia), and Peridance Contemporary Dance Company (New York). His appearances at TEDx Bologna and Motion Plus Design Tokyo confirm his status as a committed and visionary artist, while his participation in competitions such as Juste Debout USA and The Kings of New York attest to his deep roots in the experimental and urban dance scenes.

More on digital art

Generative art

Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.

AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.

3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.

Collage

An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.

Illustration

Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.

Video

Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
