Exposition

Nicholas Zambetti

2003 / 2006

An exposition of some selected work over the past few years; this site serves as a professional portfolio and a launching point for new projects. The site is divided into three main sections named projects, commercial, and photography. The projects section is devoted to non-client work done for either academic or personal reasons. The commercial section is a collection of work done while employed or contracted. Lastly, the photography section is an outlet for sharing experiences and communicating interests.

Since relocating to Ivrea, this site has become a drop zone for academic projects. Comments, critiques, and inquiries concerning these projects are most definitely welcome. The easiest way to provide feedback is by way of the contact form. Biographical information is available in the form of a resume and also an entry on the interaction-ivrea website. Links to both of these resources can be found at the bottom of this page. Also, please send notification if you incorporate or mention any of these works in your own projects or research.
