OOVIE Studios at Il Sole 24 Ore: At the Intersection of Art and AI

Lorenzo Ramon and Riccardo Acciarino for IlSole24Ore

Key Takeaways

  • OOVIE started from a stage problem, not a technology trend.
  • Riccardo Acciarino and Lorenzo Ramon built a movie that follows live music instead of forcing musicians to follow a rigid screen.
  • Their idea of human centric AI is practical: technology should widen expression, not replace it.

The story OOVIE Studios shared at Il Sole 24 Ore did not begin with a pitch deck about artificial intelligence. It began with a musician's frustration. Riccardo Acciarino had spent years performing in major venues and had seen the same contradiction again and again: live music was expressive and flexible, while the visuals around it were fixed and unforgiving.

From that tension came the idea that would shape OOVIE Studios. Instead of forcing musicians to follow a film, why not build a movie that could follow the music? That question sits at the center of the conversation Riccardo Acciarino and Lorenzo Ramon brought to Il Sole 24 Ore.

It Started on Stage, Not in a Lab

This is what gives the OOVIE story a different tone from many AI narratives. The company did not start by asking how to use artificial intelligence because it was fashionable. It started by trying to solve a very specific live-performance problem that musicians had already felt in their bodies and in their ears.

For performers, timing is not mechanical. It is expressive. A phrase can open up, tighten, breathe, or hold for a moment longer. When visuals cannot move with that reality, the technology stops serving the performance and starts dictating it.

The Problem with Visuals That Cannot Listen

"We were five or six world class musicians, but with a click in our ears for three hours, we could not interpret the music with freedom."

That memory, shared by Riccardo in the Il Sole 24 Ore interview, captures the issue clearly. Traditional video files are pre-rendered. They do not adapt to a conductor's timing, to a room, or to the emotional weight of a live performance. When that happens, the screen becomes the master and the musicians become the ones trying to keep up.

Building a Movie That Follows Live Music

OOVIE's answer was to create a Music Interactive Movie: a visual narrative that listens to live music and adjusts in real time. Instead of locking performers into a fixed sequence, the system reacts to the musical interpretation as it unfolds.

That change sounds technical, but its real value is artistic. It gives performers back the space to interpret. It also gives audiences something they can feel immediately: a visual world that seems to move with the music rather than sit behind it like decoration.

What Human Centric AI Means in Practice

The phrase human centric AI can sound abstract until it is grounded in a working method. For OOVIE, it means using technology the way a cinematographer uses a camera or a composer uses software: as an instrument. The tool matters, but the creative decision still belongs to people.

That is also why the company's work resonates across different contexts, from orchestras to brand experiences. The goal is not to put AI on display for its own sake. The goal is to create a stronger human response, whether that response is wonder, focus, or emotional connection.

Why the Il Sole 24 Ore Feature Matters

The Il Sole 24 Ore feature matters because it places OOVIE Studios inside a broader conversation about art and technology. It frames Riccardo Acciarino and Lorenzo Ramon not as founders chasing novelty, but as creators asking a sharper question: how can technology give performers and audiences more, not less?

That distinction matters to orchestras, brands, and cultural institutions that are curious about AI but skeptical of empty spectacle. The interview makes clear that OOVIE's position is not technology first. It is experience first.

"We do not just ask for an audience's time. We give them an experience that is unique and unrepeatable."
