CASTAMAN

THE ADVENTURES OF ASTROROUND

A-Round was supposed to be the mascot of Around Gallery. Nothing more. A cute little robot to be used here and there on occasions that had not yet been identified. At best, a symbol capable of embodying our identity and our value system.

 

The fact is that in an instant, Elena Castaman‘s drawings came to life and the character began to move of his own accord, defining himself as the first example of Human Intelligence (acronym HI) and forming his own team (Producer, B-Round, and Editor, C-Round) with the aim of making a documentary that would recount his adventures in space on the trail of the mysterious Dr. Hu. The human, artist-scientist, who according to legend created the planet Meraki by generating a population of robots endowed with human intelligence (a particular type of intelligence that drives continuous research and creativity) and animated by the desire to explore the universe to spread their knowledge.
Episode zero of this new original project, enhanced by a soundtrack composed by Stefano Pasini and sounds by Davide Sciaky, is none other than the trailer for the documentary starring and directed by A-Round and broadcast on all networks across the robot planet.
