Davide Tidoni is an interdisciplinary artist working from the boundaries of spatial, material, and relational dimensions of sound. His work addresses questions regarding interactions with acoustic space, impermanence, and interdependence. His practice also includes interests in protest songs, social contexts of struggle, and the use of sound in football supporters culture.
He published The Sound of Normalisation (2018), a field research on the ultras group Brescia 1911; Where Do You Draw the Line Between Art and Politics (2021), a series of interviews with individuals active at the intersection of art and politics; and The Best of NoTAV (2024), a songbook including lyrics, contextual notes and reinterpretations of songs from the NO TAV struggle.
