Roberto Vitalini is a Swiss video artist known for immersive, large‑scale installations that dissolve spatial boundaries and evoke the sensation of infinite emotional landscapes. His work is often described as “less like a linear story and more like a vibe — an atmosphere or mood shaped by moments of spectacle that form a cohesive aesthetic idea.”

He explores how images can transform space: dissolving surfaces, expanding architectures, and opening vast emotional terrains. His practice spans immersive installations, video scenography, and AI‑driven visual environments that function more as atmospheres than narratives. Vitalini’s projects have appeared in opera houses, theatres, public spaces, and monumental façades — from the kinetic LED forest of the Sochi Olympics to the generative seascape of Avudo Montréal, from Einstein on the Beach in Geneva to Ocean 88 in Chongqing, a 3,788‑square‑meter suspended ocean whose waves reveal a hidden mechanical understructure, creating a subtly disorienting encounter between the organic and the artificial.

His current research focuses on AICINEMA and AI‑influenced generative art, expanding the expressive possibilities of large‑scale visual storytelling.

"The stage area is a triangle, open to us on one side, with two curtained walls. On these, videos by Roberto Vitalini show us a galaxy of stars, seas at night and other vast contexts within which one human situation becomes central." Financial Times - 28.04.2023

"Roberto Vitalini’s mesmeric video design and Jon Driscoll’s haunting lighting are major elements in the production’s success, as is Bywater’s set." The Guardian - 28.04.2023

« Sur le plateau, c’est une fête incessante de projections vidéo (Roberto Vitalini) entre nuages, eau, fumées. Plongée dans l’infini scientifique ou envol vers le mystère de la vie. » Le Temps - 13.09.2019

La magie des jeux de lumières, les transparences, projections spectaculaires, ombres chinoises, chorégraphies et mouvements incessants, envolées d'objets et d'êtres sillonnant l'espace scénique, composent un univers visuel foisonnant.
