We are happy to invite you to the Open Presentations of the Final Synthesis Design Studio at Politecnico di Milano, “Mediazioni Algoritmiche. Designing in a data-intensive society”.
On the 20th of January students from Politecnico di Milano – Design School will present their projects on various topics investigating the relationship between society and everyday technologies.
You can follow the presentations online at this link or join us in presence by registering to this event (counted seats, the event could be deleted due to covid conditions) on Eventbrite.
The Open Presentations will close with the opening of the exhibition of all group projects, along with the exhibition of Infopoems: a collection of design artefacts with a “poetic” approach to data, which reconciles the description of a phenomenon with the experience we have about it.
Below the event programme (GMT+1 timezone):
- 10:00 Welcome and introduction
- 10:20 “Hype/Technology” panel: what is the blockchain and how are its environmental issues tackled by the companies? What is the new art market of NFTs enabled by the blockchain?

- 14:30 “Material/digital” panel: how is the society of the future of cities like Milan portrayed in architectural renderings? What is the “new materiality” of objects that COVID generated on Amazon? How did COVID generate discourse through online petitions on change.org?
