Alex Rowbotham Designer and Photographer
I’m a British freelance web developer, media designer and photographer currently based in both the alpine landscape of South Tyrol, (Italian Alps) and on the rugged coastline of Cornwall. I’ve been providing digital media solutions for more than 25 years, during which time I’ve enjoyed working closely with clients at home and abroad.
Projects have been varied and often challenging, requiring further (and continuing) personal development in software, hardware and creative processes. Learning is just simply unavoidable and synonymous with design.
As creative director, contracted to work in Rome, I teamed up with a talented team of graphic and animation artists, integrated within the department of online development, providing digital solutions to numerous industries and cultural entities.
Trade shows and museum installation design, including 360° screens, and websites continued as part of my portfolio during this time and following the contract conclusion. This included collaborating on huge extravaganzas in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates such as Dubai World Cup - Meydan.
In 2007 I co-founded Luce Dipinta Multivisioni, a non-profit cultural association producing projects that use image and sound, performance art, video mapping, one-off events and festivals. Encouraging a wider understanding and potential of the ever-expanding digital technology and associated production processes. I also developed and maintain Luce Dipinta’s website.
I recently launched this website to display new areas of work (and play) such as the Lorem Ipsum Project, to highlight an on-going love affair with projections, and to offer prints and greeting cards directly online - using photographs from my archive.
Photo Illustration
An experiment, a montage series of images "Lorem Ipsum" inspired by time spent in Tuscany and Cornwall using techniques developed for multivision presentations.
Project{ions}
Projection installations, on both the interiors and exteriors of buildings as well as utilising more traditional screen formats - single and multi-screen. From museum installations to corporate and arts events, single projector presentations to full blown multi-projector, synchronised images and sound for architectural building 3D mapping.
Passing the time
Creation of time-lapse photography, whether to show change over an hour, a day, a week, a month or year(s). The resulting images can be provided as images or composed as an animated movie in any video format from DVD quality through to HD and 4K, plus for display on online.
