Born in Brescia, Italy, 1973. Lives and works in Spain

The interests of Cristian Bettini a.k.a. P.ankh, have taken him in different directions including art and culture, new media and the environment, the food chain and the conscious approach to nature. All these are brought together in his creative activity, enriched by his experiences with activism, travel and his studies in Philosophy. In 2005, he began working on Proyecto de camino, travelling across France and Spain, gathering his sensations and experiences in an online bulletin.

In 2006, he was selected in two master classes for independent producers and interactive narration organized by Sagasnet as part of the Media Europa Project in Germany. For three months in 2007 he crossed Italy, comprising the experience recorded as Lasino (http://www.lasino.org), which constitutes a sort of conceptual prologue to donkijote.org.

He repeated a journey of similar characteristics across Holland in 2008, adding an educational component, featured in the project Donkeypedia (http://www.donkeypedia.nl), which was presented in Ovni Rizomas in the Centre for Contemporary Culture in Barcelona (CCCB), in the MIPTV in Cannes (France), in the Picnic Festival and in CineKid 2008, both in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).
