Good morning,
We are a design studio working at the intersection of technology, journalism and culture. We specialise in creating hybrid interfaces for complex datasets, enabling new forms of exploration and understanding.

Through software, tools, and interface design, we produce website, spatial installations, and printed matter for researchers, activists, artists, and organisations.

Our work is open source and we document our process on a regular basis. Reach out for collaborations, commissions, or questions.

Best,
Giacomo & Fidel

Unfolding the Archive

Born-digital architecture archives present unique opportunities to study and interpret the intertwined relationship between built environment, digital cultures, and social change. In Unfolding the Archive, we teamed up with Ania Molenda (Nieuwe Instituut) to identify new ways to read and make accessible the project folders by architecture firm MVRDV. The visualisation is the continuation of one of three prototypes we initially created to investigate file metadata, layers and geometries of architectural drawings.

We have a new website. Do you want one as well?

Vantage

Footage sourced from social networks can become crucial working material for investigative journalists, OSINT investigators and human rights activists. Yet the high persuasive power videos have, demands rigorous verification: Do place and time of a recording actually match the described incident? What is actually shown in the imagery? And how do recordings from different perspectives relate to each other?

In Vantage we pursue video and still image based spatial reconstruction to aid in answering these questions. Supported by the Prototype Fund we created a platform to reproject footage into 3D-environments and are currently exploring a wider set of reconstruction techniques.

We’re currently exploring sparse reconstructions of videos in space.

Say hi if you have any tips or a GPU to share.

China Unofficial Archives

The non-profit digital archive for censored and suppressed Chinese history is dedicated to making accessible the key documents, films, blogs, and publications of a movement of Chinese people seeking to reclaim their country’s history. We overhauled the websites technical infrastructure and visual identity to highlight the archives diversity and interconnectedness.

We’re back in the office and up for new adventures!

Let us know if you want to do a project with us or have any questions.

Happy new year,

interface of the forcible transfer watch

Forcible Transfer Watch

Forcible Transfer Watch monitors and documents the risk of forcible transfer affecting over 200 Palestinian communities in Area C of the occupied West Bank. It does so within a context of escalating coercion by Israeli authorities and settlement expansion. These pressures create sustained conditions that push Palestinian communities to leave their land.

We developed the interface together with the West Bank Protection Consortium, the Israeli anti-settlement NGO Kerem Navot, and the civilian harm watchdog Airwars.

Chemical Trajectories

The third edition of the Design Signals exhibition sets it focus on Romania’s chemical industry. We collaborated with Norbert Petrovici to create an exhibit that visualises the sectors transformation from socialist-era specialisation to post-2000 fragmentation.

Web Design & Creative Coding

We’ve been invited by Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin to take over the web design and creative coding courses for one semester each. We introduced our students to HTML and CSS foundations and explored interactivity and image effects with p5.js.

Public WiFi / Not a Network

In Public WiFi, we scan network names with a custom built wifi recorder and juxtapose them with video footage from the same locations. While predominantly encountering commercial and factory-setting network names, some appear to broadcast subliminal messages.

We explore this further in Not a Network, an offline but visible WiFi network that gradually performs poetry by altering its own name. The artwork operates on a WiFi-enabled Arduino and is best experienced by scanning networks from one’s own device.

As our initial project funding for Vantage is drawing to a close, we realise that we really enjoy working together.

Let’s make this permanent and open a studio together.
