Andrea Fiore's interest in software is non-conventional, in both its production and its usage practice. He holds a degree in communication sciences from the University of Rome with a thesis on software as cultural artifact and spends much of his time data mining, profiling, conjuring social software, and exploring digital archives and privacy issues. He graduated from the Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute with a project investigating web audiences analytics in relation to content personalization, behavioral marketing and web-based advertising.
An expert in web-cookies, he is trying to devise tools and methods to better understand the economy behind them. Recently, he joined the Digital Methods Initiative as a programmer, a research group directed by Richard Rogers and based at UVA Amsterdam.
