Where brands, artists and technology meet.

NECESSITY.INK is an artist-led creative studio and boutique agency founded by data artist Tiziana Alocci. We develop commercial collaborations, installations, curated commissions and training programmes that turn data, sound and emerging technologies into meaningful cultural experiences.

Tiziana’s research informs the studio’s experimental methodology; NECESSITY translates that sensibility into commissioned work for brands, agencies and cultural institutions.
