Luciano Frizzera, PhD

Critical AI & Platform Studies Scholar
Web Developer + UX Designer

I am an early scholar in Communication Studies and Digital Humanities (DH), with a focus on the intersection of Critical AI, Platform Studies, and Science and Technology Studies (STS). My research combines traditional methodologies with innovative approaches, such as digital methods and critical code studies, to examine how digital platforms and AI can be understood as part of a discourse connected to broader power structures.

My primary research discusses the political economy of subjectivation driven by AI and digital platforms. I am interested in the political and social implications of AI, datafication, and hyper-nudges to understand how algorithmic mediation produces subjects and reorganizes life.

I am also an experienced web developer and a UI/UX designer. I have produced several scripts for data collection and transformation as well as interactive interfaces for data visualization, semantic text editors, games, and websites.
