His research, creative practice, and teaching focus on two main areas: (1) the analysis of the impacts of digital designs and devices, with an emphasis on the use of artificial intelligence; and (2) the anthropology of design, focused on non-anthropocentric perspectives and oriented toward planetary sustainability. He teaches at both undergraduate and graduate levels and supervises theses at undergraduate and doctoral levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tironi has served as Principal Investigator on several Fondecyt-funded projects, including: Digital Technologies for Climate Change: Exploring the Designs, Uses, and Effects of Digital Technologies for the Ecological Transition in Chile (2025\u20132028); Designing Futures in the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Prediction: Problematizing the Construction of Technological Futures in the Chilean Context (No. 1210006, 2021\u20132023); Datafication of Urban Environments and Individuals: An Analysis of the Designs, Practices, and Discourses of Digital Data Production and Management in Chile (No. 1210006, 2021\u20132023); and Configuring Smart Spaces and Users: A Socio-Technical Study of the Practices, Devices, and Discourses of \u2018Smart Cities\u2019 in Chile (No. 11140042, 2015\u20132018).


He is co-editor of the book Design for More-Than-Human Futures: Towards Post-Anthropocentric Worlding (Routledge, 2023). In the field of research-creation, he was part of the curatorial team that won the Gold Medal at the London Design Biennale (2021) with the pavilion Tectonic Resonance: From User-Centered Design to Planet-Oriented Design. Together with Manuela Garret\u00f3n, he is the creator of the installations Hybrid Ecologies: Visualizing the Terrestrial Footprint of Artificial Intelligence (Centro Cultural La Moneda, Chile) and Generative Devastations (Galer\u00eda Lo Contador).


Tironi is a member of the International Advisory Board of the series Dis-positions: Troubling Methods and Theory in STS (Bristol University Press), and serves on the editorial boards of Revista 180 (UDP) and Revista Dise\u00f1a (UC).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
