Across Design, Technology, Environment and Politics | Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli

A simple tap on a screen conceals a chain of sequenced operations, procedures, and invisible frictions: a complex system where physical, biological, mineral, chemical, and synthetic regimes are entangled in a short time-frame and across scales, from the microscopic to the planetary and beyond. What are the spatial forms of this emerging data-scape?

Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli is an architect and curator whose work encompasses technology, politics, design, and environmental practices. Formerly a partner at OMA, he founded the interdisciplinary agency 2050+ in Milan to deploy space as a medium rather than a goal. Ippolito teaches at the Royal College of Arts in London Data Matter, a research and design studio exploring the entangled relationship between data and the material world. His work has been shown internationally in various institutions, festivals, and exhibitions
