Roberto Battista

Currently (2011) working at two on-line multimedia projects for the World Bank.

External collaborator with English National Opera and BBC for film and multimedia productions.

From 2006 to 2009 I worked at BBC Radio 3 Interactive, part of the team developing and maintaining Radio 3's website. I set up a video production unit there and produced video documentation of live events, launching a YouTube channel, also developing the syndication activities of Radio 3 elsewhere on the web to reach a wider audience.

During the same period I occasionally took on freelance assignments, such as being part of a team at Liquid Light, an excellent web design agency based in Brighton, at the development of the new site and on-line communication system for the African Development Bank.

In October 2009 I started studying an MA in Ethnicity, Globalisation and Culture at Birkbeck University, to be completed in July 2011

more of my work on myspace (music), youtube (video), flickr (photography) and twitter too.
