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.
