Profile

Guillermo Tirelli writes, creates, holds conversations, teaches, talks, and participates in projects relating philosophy, technologies, and arts to the human experience.

Argentinian born, he studied philosophy at the National University of Cordoba with a major in Metaphysics.

In 2004 he emigrated to Europe. In Paris he completed a masters degree with a work on language in the thinking of Emmanuel Levinas. He made his doctorate in philosophy at the Sorbonne University, Paris IV, under the direction of Jean-Luc Marion with a thesis on the unsayable in the philosophy of Heidegger, Levinas, and Wittgenstein.

He moved to Berlin in 2009 and to Oxford in 2016, working especially in the relation between digital technologies, business, and human sciences.

In 2012 he takes part in an online postgraduate programme in media arts offered in a joint work of Latin American universities.

From 2019 he lives in London.

Currently he works in projects combining philosophy, design, arts, languages, technologies, business, science, and humanities both in analog and digital environments.

The language and its limits, the understanding of technology and software as an evolution from language, the ethics given by the encounter with the other, the donation, and the dispersion are recurrent themes in his work.
