Tancredi Di Giovanni is an artist and researcher exploring the boundaries between art, science and technology in the attempt to dismantle them. Originally trained in design and visual communication, but profoundly discouraged by the economical factors compromising the discipline, he started to think of himself as a "nomad-by-necessity" in search for a not yet existing new field.


Ilinx - Ilinx is an online experiment that explores the relationship between computation and humans as a phenomenal world extending the existential search for knowledge. The research around the project was done through reading, writing and re-editing of texts and software, theory and fiction. These formed a collection of materials to be interconnected with each other, creating a map and navigating through it as the work progressed. The result is an explorable diary and labyrinth where humans and machines, texts and codes melt togheter taking the shape of an hypertextual theory-fiction. https://hub.xpub.nl/ilinx/
The Dot - The Dot is a work-in-process research project intended to provide the first steps to a systematic study of visual elements as a unitary phenomenon. Starting from the definition of space and form it expands analyzing the relation between the dot, the simplest form, and the squared space, the most easy to percive form. Following a defined methodology exploring four parallel poits of view (theory, static image, moving image and interaction) The Dot's components are a book, a series of artworks, an animation and different interactive processing sketches.
A map inside a text, a text inside a map - 'A map inside a text, a text inside a map' is an hybrid project weaving a printed publication in the form of a zine and an online interactive map where the coordinates in the space correspond to the page numbers of the zine. The texts and documents collected regarding my personal experience of hosting a server in my room and understanding digital networks. 'A map inside a text, a text inside a map' is my personal contribution to the Special Issue # 8 organized by the Experimental Publishing (XPUB), a collective research project on networked technologies as publishing tools.
Wittgenstein’s Tractatus - Online project for a dynamic reading of the 'Tractatus logico-philosophicus' by Ludwig Wittgenstein.
