MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE
Working with data as a narrative material to explore memory, sound, and the invisible structures shaping human experience, Tiziana’s investigations capture intangible phenomena through field recording, biometric data, data sonification, and algorithmic systems to create audiovisual works across installations and moving image. Her approach is both analytical and poetic, reflecting a biographical journey that makes the invisible visible. Her practice is defined as behavioural cartography – visually mapping the minutiae of how people live today. Her ‘unfinished thinking’ turns found and invisible data into ongoing investigations to make the intangible tangible and to transform data into meaningful stories.
Tiziana’s work was exhibited internationally in Jeju Island, Bangkok, Helsinki, London, Tbilisi, Milan, Genoa, Madrid, Copenhagen, and presented at UNIT London, The British Library, Bangkok Kunsthalle, London Design Festival, King's College London, Fondation EDF, C3 Mexico City, Milan Design Week, and The Royal Danish Academy.
Alongside her practice, Tiziana has been an Associate Lecturer at the University of the Arts London since 2018. She has guest lectured internationally at CENTRO in Mexico City, MOME in Budapest, the Institute for Technology Entrepreneurship and Design in Bangkok, and Central Saint Martins College in London, amongst others. As a thought leader and speaker in the data, art, and tech space, she regularly lends her voice to prominent international events. Her TEDx talk, for which she is a member of the Board of Advisors, crystallised the core objectives of her practice by unpacking the processes around How Sound Data Can Recreate Lost Memories.
Some of Tiziana’s investigations have been developed in collaboration with Gucci, The National Gallery (London), the British Library, Google, Lufthansa Group, BBC, David Gilmour, The Orb, The Guardian, Condé Nast, and JP Morgan.
In 2017, she co-founded the award-winning Market Cafe Magazine – the world’s first independent magazine about data visualisation. The publication is sold in over 20 independent bookstores globally and has featured internationally leading figures in data and information design, and cultivated a vibrant and international community.
Tiziana lives and works in London, UK. Her studio is open on appointment only.

Artist Statement
Tiziana’s work is born from inevitability – an unstoppable impulse to track, process, and expose the varied and unseeable rhythms of the world. The roots of her practice were formed in her childhood. From these early years, she began working recursively, creating a single sketch every day that connected with her emerging personhood – an exercise her educators called ‘presenza’ (presence). This represented an unconscious approach to the movement of Quantified Self, which Tiziana now re-appropriates repeatedly in her evolving art practice.
This focus on exposing the ‘self’ through art has remained foundational to her production. Tiziana’s work is tied to a mental landscape of compulsive thinking – she has been identified as living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – and is created as an antidote to obsessive cycles. This manifests differently across varied projects, but systematically begins with a recording process and ends with an interpretive one.
The recording phase starts with an introspective trigger. She records actions (her movement and breath as she walks through landscapes), she records unconscious behaviours (her breathing patterns when sleeping), and she records relationships (the intimate moments shared with her partner). The interpretative phase then becomes a translation of these metrics into two-dimensional form.
Visually, this is often expressed in circular elements. Circles are formed of a sequence of thousands of imperceptible points that merge into one curved line – a hidden pressure pushing them from the centre to the edge as they support one another. These points represent the data points Tiziana gathers in her recording process. Their invisible tension becomes a replication of the tensions within her own mental excursions, once again occupying the notion of ‘presenza’.
The end work culminates as behavioural cartography – abstracted representations of the behaviour of people, cities, and objects. The artworks, once complete, piece together diverse meanings; they become maps of experience, unveiling both overt and hidden messages embedded in the everyday rituals of human existence.
Tiziana’s practice is built as a result of an inner dialogue, with each visual creation transferring a peaceful feeling at the point of creation. The artworks signify the ultimate compulsive act – a ritual that calms a restless mind. In this way, compulsive, disordered thoughts are given order as they are pushed into the work, with art becoming a lifeline and a necessity for survival.
