A Kind of CV ... 
Pantelis was born in 1983 in Florina, a small town in Greece. Different reasons made him and his Family move from Greece to Germany and back again, so, in the age of 18 he already had lived in 5 different German and Greek Cities. When he started his Studies as a medical Instrument Specialist in Thessaloniki, economical reasons mostly made him work as a Dj in different Local Cafes and Bars.
One Year after, on 2001, he decided that he is not so interested in Medical Instruments and moved back to his Hometown and continued there his Studies on the University Of Western Macedonia in the “Preschool Education” Department. His parallel work (Djing) seemed to attract him more and more, while he realized that combining it with his Computers Skills (he got his first Amiga Computer on 1988 in the age of five), could help him to get even better. Working on mostly Media Applications on his Computer, as an employee on Internet Cafes and as a Dj in different Local Bars and Cafes and combining this all with his studies, made Pete want to Study more and more the different concepts of Communication and “Social Networking” (Online and in Real), while participating in different Educational Programs around Europe, made him realize the dynamic nature of Cultures and their Variety.
On 2005, Pantelis (under the alias Pete Bellis) “Djs for the first time in his life away from Greece, while he continues doing that when he moves to Freiburg / Germany for six months as an Erasmus Student. In Freiburg he gets his first Radio Show abroad (Sounds Right) and edits also his first short movie, which had a major success, Local and not only.
On 2006 he receives his Masters on “Preschool Education Studies” and continues to Dj around Europe and Greece, while he signs his first official release as an Electronic Dance Music Producer on Bellarine Recordings (Australia), under the Alias Cloudz-Factory.
On 2007 Pantelis starts his Master of Arts in “Cultural Studies and Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education” while on 2008 and after participating in the Helsinki Summer School in Finland (“Developing Intercultural Competences”), he realizes that chasing moments and immortalize them with a camera can be as expressive as Producing Music, Editing Videos or Developing Websites. In the same Year he participates in two Local Photo Exhibitions, while on 2009 he starts to Publish Articles and through his studies and his Master of Arts Thesis “The Information and Communication Technologies as Mediators in the process of forming Individual Identities”, he tries to express essentials of his own Identity, with a “Web 2.0 Educational Website Development Model” for third Grade Educational Institutions, which he finishes on 2010. On the same Year he fulfills his Military Obligations as a Greek Citizen. Nowadays, Pantelis is working as a Pre Elementary School Teacher in Athens, is writing Articles around his main fields of research (Culture, Subculture, Media, Communication and Education), Djs in Local Bars and Cafes and organizes from time to time his own events, works on Image and Sound Design applications and works on his photography Projects “Topologies and Ontologies in Urban Landscapes” and “Athenian Photostories”.
