Data artist Tiziana Alocci on sound, data, and belonging
Tiziana Alocci, a data artist from Genoa who has resided in London for the past eleven years, delves into the intersection of art, technology, and storytelling. Her newest endeavor, 'Frequencies of belonging,' showcased in Genoa, merges online voices with visuals generated from sound data. Alocci sourced around one hundred contributions from an open call centered on the theme of 'home,' utilizing them as auditory material. The installation features a sphere composed of 20 million particles that react to vocal frequencies and an animated wall of words that shifts with each interaction. This marks her inaugural public art project in her native city. Initially starting in information design, Alocci now incorporates her voice and ambient sounds, focusing on a technical approach grounded in real data.
