His theory and practice have been extended as a workshop leader and lecturer in multimedia, especially in the field of AI, where he works both as an artist and a theorist.[14] In 2007, he became "Pornpope" founding the porn-artistic collective Pornsaints.[15][16][17][18][19] Francesco D'Isa serves as the editorial director for the cultural magazine L’Indiscreto[20] and contributes writings and illustrations to various magazines, both in Italy and abroad.
