Interlacing science with poetry

Working at the intersection of art, technology, and data, Tiziana’s work captures intangible phenomena through city soundscapes, biometric data, scents, archives, and personal narratives. 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 work converts recorded data into pictorial and sonified abstractions – transforming data into meaningful stories.

Tiziana’s work has been commissioned by The National Gallery, the British Library, Lufthansa Group, BBC, David Gilmour, The Orbs, The Guardian, Condé Nast, and JP Morgan. Her work was exhibited internationally at UNIT London, The British Library, Fondation EDF, C3 Mexico City, 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 and Harbour Space in Bangkok, amongst others. As a thought leader and speaker in the data, art and design space, she lends her voice regularly to prominent international events. Her talk for TEDx – for whom she is a member of the Board of Advisors – crystalised the core objectives of her practice, unpacking the processes around How Sound Data Can Recreate Lost Memories

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.

  • Tiziana’s work is born from inevitability – an unstoppable impulse to track, process, and expose the varied and unseeable rhythms of the world. It begins with documentation, feeding a compulsion to capture patterns that can be systematically recorded as data. The data is then translated into new visual compositions, offering new ways of reading incorporeal phenomena – like city sounds, scents, human breathing, and sleeping patterns. 

    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. 

    The work is an act of storytelling. Beginning through an act of recording, the act of making art occurs in the process, not just in the outcome. Data is the ink that transposes the artist’s thoughts, breeding poetry from the details of science. The data pursued is always chosen through personal motivation – the artist’s inherent impulse to understand the intricacies of her own relationships, configurations and conditions. The work is consequently told through a personal lens, often laced with fragility and defiant authenticity.
