About

Enrico is a multimedia maker, designer and artist. He mixes the skills of photography, videography, motion graphics, motion capture, programming, 3D printing, and design into something that occasionally looks like art. Ultimately his interest is in communication and culture. His degree from The University of New Mexico has been the springboard to working with artists, research scientists, the NM film industry, and students. His first job involved creating research poster presentations for scientists and progressed to co-developing early online video courseware. From there he was the lead NM designer for the Navajo Education Technology Consortium where he developed interactive web-based games in the Dine language. Later he collaborated in Governor Bill Richardson’s NM Film Industries program for UNM in ARTS LAB, a green screen, motion capture, dome theater workspace designed to support the emerging film industry. Enrico also played a part in launching two film festivals in Albuquerque, the CineMAS Latin American Film Festival and the Southwest Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

After returning to his hometown of Taos, he continued his academic career at the Taos branch of UNM. He was central in stewarding the public access TV station there, while supporting the development of the Digital Media Arts program at the University. He later went on to help develop the film and video side of True Kids 1, a youth media program that has grown and been backed by the state. He also helped launch Taos Pride, a nonprofit that serves the LGBTQ+ community in Taos. At the moment he has joined the board of The PASEO Project, a free outdoor arts festival.
