Giacomo Nanni

Giacomo is an information designer primarily interested in exploring the intersection of technology, data and design and whose work results in a wide range of methodologies, spanning from data visualisations to investigative aesthetics.

His research practice focuses on attention to complex and invisible systems, which he explores, conceptualises, criticises and visualises in order to reformulate them.

He creates, collects and reorganises data. With that, he creates web applications, books, exhibitions and interactive visualisations. He also pursues non-profit work related to environmental and social justice, storytelling and investigative journalism.

At metaLAB@Harvard and FU Berlin he deepens and explores these approaches and expand them to include the aspect of teaching through his current involvement at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee.

Since 2017 he has also been working as a freelancer, which has given him the opportunity to carry out projects with organisations and institutions such as the NGOs Airwars and Froh!, Het Nieuwe Instituut, the Academy of Fine Arts Bologna and the Design Academy Eindhoven.

His projects have been exhibited in various venues, including: Van Abbemuseum, Bureau Europa, ADI Design Museum, Het Nieuwe Instituut and HKDI Gallery.
