Davide Napoli, writer and visual artist, listens to the fleeting forms of thought through the “in-tensions” of India ink and writing. His research on the gesture of emptiness and on time explores the fall and vertigo of meditation as a science of intimacy. Holding doctorates in Philosophy and Arts and Sciences of Art, he teaches Visual Arts at the University of Paris I-Panthéon Sorbonne and Methodologies and Techniques of Contemporary Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, Italy. He is a member of the Art, Sciences and Society research team (ACTE Institute, Sorbonne). He has published for many years with Transignum and Unicité. His most recent publications are *Le lapsus de l’ombre* (Unicité, 2020) and *Intragème* (Transignum, 2021, with a musical score by Jean-Yves Bosseur).
