Panel 1 #Designing with new intelligences
Giorgio Olivero →
”The transformation of the definition of "human" on a planet firmly wrapped in an invisible, pervasive and ever-expanding world computation: this is the theme addressed by Perfect Behaviors, a contemporary art group show curated by Giorgio Olivero which opens at OGR Torino on March 29, 2023. The exhibition presents a space for investigation into how individual and collective behaviors change when we are constantly classified, measured, simulated and even reprogrammed. Giorgio will offer a preview of the project.”
→ Giorgio is a designer, curator, and creative director. He trained at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, and was co-founder of design studio Todo where he’s been designing interactive experiences for cultural and corporate clients. In 2015, he moved to Hong Kong to work on the research and development of wearable technologies applied to fashion. Before returning to Italy, he became Chief Design Officer at Arduino, the prototyping hardware platform for which he had curated design direction from the beginning. Since 2022 he is guest curator for art and technology at OGR Torino. He is currently starting a new research journey as an accidental jeweler under the name ‘giosampietro. He has been engaged in education as lecturer and teacher at various institutions including Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar, SUPSI in Switzerland, Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, the Interaction Design Program at IUAV Venice, University of Siena, IDAS Hongik University in Seoul and Naba in Milan.
Simone Rebaudengo →
”What happens if we design from start to end a product in collaboration with an Artificial Intelligence? In this talk, Simone Rebaudengo will share the latest works and experiments of oio.studio and how they design in their studio made of humans and machines.”
→ Simone Rebaudengo is Futures director at oio - a creative company on a quest to turn emerging technologies into an approachable, everyday and sustainable reality for humans and beyond. Previously he designed future scenarios and products for The Museum of the Future in Dubai, founded a design fiction practice called automato.farm and he was lead designer at BMW Designworks and frog. His work focuses on building experiential visions of the future and exploring the implications of living and interacting with networked, smart and not-so-human things. His projects have been awarded by Red Dot Design Award, Core77, Interaction Awards and exhibited in galleries and museums such as Vitra Design Museum, Triennial Museum in Milan and MAK Vienna.
Diletta Huyskes →
→ Diletta Huyskes works on the ethics and politics of technology. She graduated in Philosophy at Leiden University studying the relationship between artificial intelligence and gender discrimination. She is currently a PhD candidate in Sociology at the University of Milan, focusing on the use of algorithms by public authorities, the values that drive their design, and their social impact. She is the Head of Advocacy & Policy at Privacy Network, where she coordinated the first national mapping of algorithms and software used by public administrations. She is the CEO & Co-founder at Immanence, a company that assesses digital technologies to make them ethical and responsible.
Panel 2 #Designing for local communities
Marco Maria Pedrazzo →
”How the practice of design has to adapt, according to the meaning domain and the target community. This lecture illustrates the key ontological differences between designing for a target segment on the market and designing for “everybody” in digital public services. By looking at design from different angles (as an embodied practice, as sense making activity, as a force within - or in absence of - a market) a series of examples highlight convergences, divergencies and areas of exploration for the design practice.”
→ Marco Maria has been working in the past 10 years as a designer at the edge of product, technology and business. In the last 2 years, he also took the challenge of designing in the public sector as a civil servant.
Alastair Fuad Luke →
”Before we became "civilised", most living beings experienced co-existence; there was no nature, no culture, just "natureculture", a term coined by Donna Haraway. Our anthropos way of thinking and being is expressed in the Anthropocene but other propositions - the Chthulucene, the Planthropocene and Sympoiecene - open the "Doors of Possibilities" to re-orientate our (human) relations to other biotic and abiotic entities. How can design f(r)ictions facilitate natureculture for diverse communities?”
→ Alastair Fuad-Luke is a facilitator, educator, scholar, writer and activist exploring how design is applied to societal, ecological, economic, political and educational issues. He was General Curator for the Porto Design Biennale 2021, Portugal under the theme of Alter-Realities: Designing the Present. He has been a Full Professor of Design at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy 2016-2021 and Aalto University, Finland, 2011-2015. He works across public, social and commercial sectors and has participated in diverse design-orientated European Union projects. His books include Post-normal Design (2022), Field Explorations (2022), Traversing Territories (2020), Agents of Alternatives (2015), Design Activism (2009) and The Eco-Design Handbook (2002).
Adrian Hill →
”There is no recipe to address complex environmental problems. There are no playbooks to roll back the effects of climate change, to protect urban areas from flooding or to improve biodiversity. Despite having access to innovative solutions, we’re often bogged down by bureaucracy, overwhelmed by change, halted by available resources or lost in complexity. Humanity has a good idea of what a sustainable future looks like, but struggles to get there. This lecture will introduce the concept of designing processes, an act that many both designers and non-designers do implicitly yet often overlook.”
→ Adrian is a researcher and process designer particularly excited by themes such as local economic development, production and resource management. He has worked across a range of areas including urban sustainability, mobility, agriculture, eco-systems management, renewable energy networks, urban design, industry and material cycles. He launched and coordinated the European project, Cities of Making (www.citiesofmaking.com) and has been actively involved in a number of other projects concerning manufacturing and production in cities across Europe. He co-founded the Belgo-Dutch Osmos Network, a non-profit organisation supporting public and private organisations, small and large, with design and development for sustainable transitions.
