headwinds in conservation development
"When I grow up I'm going to leave the midwest and go to Hollywood and make movies. When I'm done with that then I'm going to go to Africa and do something for wildlife. Like help try to save rhino's and cheetahs. When I'm there I'll meet this really cool girl and we'll get married and have kids and move to California where we'll live on a farm and raise hay and cows and horses and chickens. Besides farming I'll build stuff. Then I'm going to find land and develop some cool places to live. And sometimes I'm going to travel and I'll play with my kids a lot."

:: Enrica Lovaglio collaborating with Russell Read ::
media arts + poetry
Enrica Lovaglio currently teaches digital arts at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. She is known to inspire and stimulate her students, pushing them to be outstanding and individual. Born on the French border in the Italian city of Bordighera, her childhood took her to Egypt, Borneo, Singapore, France and then Spain as her family followed her father's career in deep-sea exploration. This exposure to diverse cultures increased her visual sense and led to a passion to discover new forms of expression through design.
In Italy, Enrica studied architecture where beauty, function and meaning all intersect in a magnificent sculpture that becomes part of a living city. In France, she studied town planning which deepened her understanding of the context of architecture and expanded her ability to design on the larger scale of urban environment. In the United States, she has studied multimedia arts in order to extend her design knowledge into the virtual world.
