Open Studio with UNSTATED
Join us for an Open Studio with Leonardo Angelucci and Sabrina Cerea, from the Zürich-based studio UNSTATED, our newest residents at the FUTURES Hub.
Leonardo Angelucci and Sabrina Cerea will present their project From Nowhere.
As part of the FUTURES & MPB Residency, From Nowhere explores the act of seeing in the age of automation, using an autonomous agent to navigate satellite imagery and virtual maps, registering traces of space and presence through algorithmic vision. Paying tribute to On Kawara, the project reimagines mapping as a detached and procedural act. What emerges is a continuous performance across virtual territories: systematic, impersonal, and subtly poetic.
The event will include a workshop exploring the intersection of design, technology, and artificial intelligence, highlighting how creative reappropriation can extend the possibilities of interactive systems. It examines the evolving relationship between humans and machines, questioning how AI-driven decision-making shapes our interactions and perceptions.
Participants: The workshop is open to everyone and does not require any advanced programming knowledge. Designers, makers, creatives, artists, amateurs. Anyone with a genuine interest in the use of technology for creative purposes. Its goal is to provide an introductory overview of the available tools and possibilities, offering the basics to start exploring them independently
