A master of technology as well as storytelling, Lucas Rizzotto is an award-winning inventor, designer & viral artist based out of New York City.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and raised on the Internet, Lucas’s work consistently pushes boundaries of what is possible in the realm of storytelling. Whether it’s an immersive VR narrative, a movie made on social media 1 minute at a time or a story game designed to be played by a crowd of hundreds of people on their phones, his work is always beautiful, introspective, innovative and gut-punchingly funny.

Online, many of Lucas’s inventions are also great stories in their own right. His emerging technology work has been seen by hundreds of millions of people worldwide on social media and covered everywhere from TMZ to the BBC, earning him World Premieres at some of the world’s biggest film festivals (Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, Cannes) and keynotes on global stages like TED.

If you are interested in his thesis as an artist, his TED talk is a great place to start.
