Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
As part of Festivalfilosofia 2021, on Saturday, September 18 at 6:00 PM in the Giardini Ducali park, Tamiko Thiel and professor Ingrid Maria Paoletti will engage in a conversation titled Materiale, artificiale immateriale. This discussion will focus on the theoretical implications of Tamiko Thiel’s installation Lend Me Your Face: Go Fake Yourself! Net art between truth and manipulation, highlighting the intersections between materiality and dematerialization. The conversation will be moderated by Marcella Manni.
Tamiko Thiel won the Visionary Pioneer Award in 2018 for her over 35 years of career in the field of media art, creating politically charged works that explore issues of place, space, body, and cultural identity. She was the lead product designer of the AI Connection Machine CM1/CM2 (1986-87) by Danny Hillis, the fastest supercomputer in the world in 1989, which is part of the MoMA collection in New York.
Ingrid Maria Paoletti is a professor of Architecture Technology at the Department of Architecture, Construction Engineering, and Built Environment (ABC) at the Politecnico di Milano. She is the founder of the Material Balance Research Lab, co-founder and director of the research unit Actlab, and coordinator of the scientific committee of SAPERLab, at the dABC Laboratory at Politecnico di Milano. Her research focuses on the role of technological innovation in architectural design, particularly in the fields of new construction technologies and the evolution of digital tools to bridge the gap between conceptualization and realization.
