Giuseppe Torre [Dip V,Laurea/M.Phil., MSc, PhD] is Lecturer of digital art practices at the University of Limerick . His research interest lies at the crossings between digital art practices, open source technology/culture and philosophy.

He is the author of An Ethico-Phenomenology of Digital Art Practices (Routledge, 2021). His academic writings features in journals and books by publishing houses such as MIT Press, Springer, Routledge/Taylor & Francis. As an active digital art practitioner, his works and performances have been showecased nationally and internationally. He is a advocate of FLOOS (Free and Libre Open Source Software) in the teaching and professional practice of all digital arts.
