Welcome! You've landed on the BBB (Bittanti's Bulletin Board)

I'm an Adjunct Professor in the Visual Studies and in the Visual & Critical Studies programs at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and Oakland. Between 2006 and 2011, I collaborated with the Stanford Humanities Lab at Stanford University. I write about technology, film, games, and popular culture for various publications (WIRED, Rolling Stone, LINK, Duellanti). My online projects include GameScenes and eventually. Occasionally, I create stuff.

This website collects my Game Art experiments and online interventions.

You can read more about Game Art on my blog GameScenes.

SPOTLIGHT: "C'etait un rendez vous numerique" in Miami until February 20 2011

My 2009 game-installation, "C'etait un rendez vous numerique", is on display at the Wolfsonian Gallery in Miami until February 20 2011. More info below and here: Download Speed Limits_FINAL2

SPEED LIMITS ON VIEW THROUGH FEBRUARY 20, 2011 PRESS RELEASE One hundred years ago, the “Foundation and Manifesto of Futurism” proclaimed that “the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.” A century later, the tempo of life continues to accelerate. Speed Limitsprobes the powers and limits of the modern era's cult of speed in five key domains: circulation and transit; construction and the built environment; efficiency; the measurement and representation of rapid motion; and the mind/body relationship. link
