Giuseppe Torre is a digital artist, composer, and researcher whose interdisciplinary practice investigates the aesthetic, ethical, and ontological dimensions of digital technologies. Working with generative systems, live coding, and real-time media, Torre explores how algorithmic environments can serve not merely as tools for expression, but as sites of critical inquiry and embodied reflection. His approach merges digital art with philosophical traditions—especially phenomenology, media theory, and continental thought—to examine how technologies of creation shape subjectivity and a sense of self.

Torre’s creative practice foregrounds Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) as both an artistic methodology and an ethical position. By embracing open systems, he resists commodification and promotes transparency, collaboration, and agency. His performances, installations, and compositions challenge dominant narratives of efficiency and automation, cultivating moments of ambiguity, interruption, and introspection. His recent EP Incidental Effects (2024), released under the moniker “handsandnumbers” by the Rome-based label Stochastic Resonance, reflects his focus on minimalism, live coding, and the aesthetics of real-time computation.

Torre’s scholarly work is deeply intertwined with his artistic practice. He is the author of An Ethico-Phenomenology of Digital Art Practices (Routledge, 2021), which proposes a philosophical framework for understanding digital creativity as an embodied and ethical process. His second book, Interactive Art: An Incautious Definition (Blackwater Publishing, 2023), offers a speculative and irreverent critique of the conceptual foundations of interactive art. His most recent volume, The Experience of Noise: Philosophical and Phenomenological Perspectives (Springer, 2025), co-edited with international scholars, explores noise as both a scientific phenomenon and a lived, affective experience.

Currently an Associate Professor at the University of Limerick, Torre continues to advocate for a critical, situated, and ethically responsive approach to digital arts—bridging creative production with philosophical analysis and technological critique.
