adatacollector !!!!
Arianna Iodice is a visual artist and researcher working sometimes under, within and next to the moniker adatacollector. She works with writing, installations, and visual research, exploring the operative power of representation from a semiotic perspective. Her work focuses on the protocols that shape technologically mediated subjectivities, developed through both academic research and visual storytelling. Her texts appear in Medial Disorder (Vol. I) for Inactual Magazine, and in Invisible Ecologies, the catalogue of the exhibition she curated for Forma Edizioni, a publishing house based in Florence, where she worked as editor-in-chief until 2025. Her audiovisual works have been exhibited at Hyper Art Festival (Florence) and Zone Digitali (Bergamo), and her installation Embedded Coping Behaviours, a memetic political compass on extinction aesthetics, was presented at Palazzo Bronzo (Genoa). Her practice unfolds along two intertwined trajectories. On the one hand, she conducts para-academic research on the processes and protocols through which subjects are produced, stabilized, and governed, with particular attention to machinic and computational environments. On the other, she investigates the speculative power of images as world-building devices: images as infrastructures capable of rendering objects and identities legible or opaque, visible or withdrawn, expanding or constraining the field of possible relations. Across both strands, her work treats representation as an operational field in which subjects, objects, and regimes of intelligibility are continuously negotiated.
