In the summer of 2006, he worked in residence on his film Lo Sguardo Italiano and with ArtLab youth to help them create animated shorts about their sense of place. For the 2008 residency, Sandro worked with ArtLab youth in Learning Labs to create an installation of visual and motion art. He built on the ideas of early 20th-century Italian Futurists, and their visual push towards the representation of movement. The 1910 painting “La citta’ che sale” (The City Raises) by Umberto Boccioni was the inspiration for this project with its use of vibrant color and dynamic shape to represent the kinetic magnificence of urban renovation. Using a downtown Denver site as subject matter, Sandro and youth created films and transformed PlatteForum into the cinematic installation called Simultaneous Visions: The City Rises.
