This research is comparative and spans strategic cryosphere sites in the Swiss Alps, Central Asia, and Antarctica. Through multimodal ethnographic fieldwork, the project explores narratives and affective sensibilities embedded in the modelling and simulation of glacial sites. https://mlml.io/p/spatial-affairs/ Thu, 31 Dec 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://mlml.io/p/spatial-affairs/ project The project is a two-year, joint program between the cultural institutions House of Electronic Arts (HEK) in Basel, Switzerland, Museum of Art & Photography in Bangalore, India, and Tabakalera International Center for Contemporary Culture in San Sebastián, Spain, in collaboration with the technological partners iart, studio for media architectures, and TEKNIKER in Eibar in the Basque Country in Spain, as well as research partner metaLAB (at) Basel, Switzerland. The SPATIAL AFFAIRS. https://mlml.io/p/wayzgoose/ Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://mlml.io/p/wayzgoose/ project The term “Wayzgoose” refers to a long-standing tradition in the printing and publishing world, dating back to the 16th century. Historically, the Wayzgoose was an annual event organized by master printers to mark the end of the summer and the beginning of the longer working hours of winter and working by candlelight. It was a time when printers and their apprentices would come together to celebrate their craft and hard work, with feasts and outings. https://mlml.io/p/be-longings/ Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://mlml.io/p/be-longings/ project This project assembles practical and imaginative approaches in speculative spatial design, data visualisation, graphic experimentation, and—at its heart—experimental publishing. It gathers a diverse range of voices, including students, researchers, designers, and practitioners in interior architecture, each contributing from their own unique lived experiences and needs. The result is a collection of playful, poetic, and practice-based counter-strategies—tools for shaping micro-habitats, retooling economies of space, and imagining zones of be.longing within the constraints of small-unit housing.
