STEFANO CARANTI

Stefano Caranti was born in Imola (BO) in 1965 but lives in Santa Maria Maddalena (RO) – Italy

Poet, video-poet, video-maker and video-director.

He started writing poetry during his adolescence. In 2009, combining a passion for poetry and his profession as a computer scientist, he began to create video poems. This to embrace and bring a wider range of generations and people closer to the artistic-poetic world involving the children of the schools where he taught, with enormous satisfaction and enthusiasm, in didactic projects the modalities of transfiguration of poetry into a multisensory video poetic work (a combination of elements, such as images, background, music, declaiming voice and poetic text). A bridge between tradition and technology where classic and modern come together in a new experience and immersive exploration.

He has published 2 collections of poetry and video poetry, introducing a new way of using content with the help of dynamic QR codes and elements in augmented reality.

He has received more than 160 awards, over 70 of which in the video poetry category.

Some of his video poems, selected and presented at modern and contemporary art exhibitions, got several awards in the Campidoglio, Rome, have been broadcast on Web and on national television channels.

President and member of many jury commissions in poetic and video poetic competitions, his compositions have been included in national and international anthologies, magazines, and translated into many languages.

He was appointed National Secretary for Italy by the Chilean Luis Arias Manzo, founder of the art-poetic movement “Poetas del Mundo”-www.poetasdelmundo.com- and created the Italian site www.poetasdelmundo.it.

He is co-founder of the Video Poetic Art Movement (M.A.V.) born from the passion of poets, video makers, video poets and collaborators belonging to different artistic fields for the protection, dissemination, enhancement, definition and regulation of this art form also drawing up the evaluation parameters and its official site www.videopoesie.org.

The M.A.V. appears in the Italian Encyclopedia Treccani with the new proposed neologisms “video poetry”, “videopoetic” and “videopoet”.
