Cross-media artist.
I belong to the generation that discovered a glimpse of light in the midst of two opposing worlds, between the analogue and digital ages.
A life divided into two: from graffiti paint to the coloured lights of the monitor.
I create visual works and sensory experiences, through analogue and digital tools.
Creative technologist.
I work where art intersects with media, design and technology.
I believe that creativity can be empowered and inspired by technological tools to create audiovisual experiences that are embodied in physical and digital spaces:
- The facade of a building which changes shape and colour in the middle of the night.
- A hologram of a dragon that suddenly bursts out of the water.
- An immersive room, projected in its entirety within a museum.
- A large screen where, by waving your hands in front of it, the designs and the motifs mimic your movements.
- A digital wall displaying a beautiful abstract visualisation based on the company’s sales figures.
- Three-dimensional content that appears on your cell while holding it over a product.
- Interactive light sculpture that responds to your presence by changing shape and colour.
I use different media, such as video, motion graphics, virtual and augmented reality, projection mapping, large format display, screens and interactive surfaces.

The message is the goal.
Creativity is the path.
Technology is the means.
My background is as a designer and I think that design is more than just aesthetics.
I believe it is essential to have in-depth knowledge of emerging technology in order to be able to find creative solutions during the design and development sessions of a brief.
Consumers are constantly looking for new experiences to share.
Therefore the field of creative technology is growing exponentially in most creative industries, such as:
-
- art
- events
- salespoints
- retail
- fashion
- advertising
- entertainment
Identifying the right tools and the most suitable route through appropriate design thinking is essential to avoid wasting time and money along the way, thereby increasing the quality and effectiveness of the result.
A project must reach the set objective with the minimum expenditure of resources, and therefore must be very efficient and very effective.
I provide technological know how, experience and my and my team’s creativity: WOA Creative Company.

Short Bio
Davide Asker Carioni is Creative and Art Director and supports clients in creating content for events and shows mixing art and technology. Since 1998 he has been active as a graffiti writer, distinguishing himself for his sinuous and three-dimensional lettering. He took the pseudonym ASKER and joined the classic crews TDK, Interplay and ACV. His training and education ranges from the technical to the more creative, passing from computer science to product design, and arriving at motion graphics and interactive design.
Being freelance allows him to work with major studios and international brands both in Italy and abroad, namely Los Angeles, London and Dubai.
In 2015 he converged his skills with WOA Creative Company which he founded with business partner Giuliana Pajola. Together they make up a team of interdisciplinary individuals where knowledge and skills are shared to create projects that blend art and technology. Thanks to an across-the-board approach, the studio in just a few years can boast major international productions, that range from out-of-size videos, such as video mapping, holograms, waterscreen, digital live painting, up to the creation of interactive installations, generative art, virtual and augmented reality.
For four years Davide Asker taught “come fare video mapping” at CFP Bauer IN Milan and gave a number of speeches, including “graffiti vs Video Mapping”
