Algorithmic psychogeography refers to the use of algorithms and digital technologies to explore and navigate urban spaces in non-linear, subjective, and serendipitous ways, often inspired by the principles of psychogeography. It involves using algorithm to generate new routes, maps, and experiences of the city, and can be seen as a form of creative resistance to the rigid and standardized logic of urban planning and design. Homo ludens impinges on his environment:
He interrupts, changes, intensifies;
he follows paths and in passing, leaves
traces of his presence everywhere.

In a world increasingly pervaded by precision and glossy algorithms we need to get lost and let ourselves go through these disobedient objects.
An invitation to detach oneself, to get lost in the city, to walk around looking around as if lost, curious, to be able to feel in another place,
an unknown place, to understand that
there is still much to see and experience in our city.
The city we usually traverse is just one of many.
Anti-GPS
An anti-GPS to get lost. Let's forget for a moment our daily pedestrian route and try to experiment with a walk where we are guided by an algorithm.
It's the beginning of a new way of walking in the city: not to reach a precise destination, but for the pleasureof doing it, for the pleasure of discovering unseen corners.
In a world increasingly pervaded by precision, functionality, and data that construct an almost suffocating parametric reality, getting lost becomes a liberating practice.
A moment of reflection to avoid unknowingly
sinking into digital noise.
PhAI
A camera that reverses the user-object role, where an artificial intelligence being uses man to expand his knowledge of the world. An object to reflect on design for non-humans. An object to investigate the expressive capabilities of neural networks and algorithms.
DataDating
A tool to meet the unknown. Disrupting socialization going to different non-appointments around the city.
