Dr Anna Troisi

Biography

I'm a digital artist, programmer, performer, experimental electronic musician, composer, builder of instruments, and data fetishist. I have a background in computer science, music, computer music, neuroscience, and a PhD in nanotechnology.

I’m deputy chair of the UAL REKESC Research Ethics and Knowledge Exchange Sub-Committee and member of the CCI Research Committee and REF group.

As a digital artist, programmer, and performer, my research and artistic practice have been at the intersection of diverse fields, from computer science and music to neuroscience and nanotechnology. Over the past fifteen years, I have developed a unique and multifaceted approach that marries fine art, music, electronics, and empirical datasets, culminating in what I have termed "sensing data." This framework serves as the backdrop for my artistic endeavors, which strive to merge empirical data with creative expression in a manner that aligns with the principles of 'Design for Change.'
By exploring the multisensory aspects of our world and promoting community engagement, I hope to contribute to the broader dialogue on change and progress in the realms of art, technology, and society. In doing so, I aim to facilitate a future that is both innovative and socially responsible, driven by the power of data and the creative spirit.

Within the 'Design for Change' paradigm, my research emphasizes the potential of data to empower communities and drive policy development and environmental decision-making.

My projects encompass two primary dimensions:
- Ecology of Human Interactions:
​- Human Interaction with the Environment:
