floats at zero gravity
Design Spaziale — Italiano is an itinerant multimedia project with the mission to highlight the strategic role of Design for Space as an avant-garde domain for our country.
For months we have been synthesizing philosophical and perceptive design concepts in a series of videos and images representing the physical boundaries of moving through the extreme conditions of living outside planet Earth.

The result is a grid-based visual identity with a sci-fi look, a series of vid eo with matte painted visions of the glowing space surrounding us, and website collecting concepts, projects and detailed studies on design for space.

Confinement, disorientation, extreme, gravity, senses, shape, shell and time are the main conceptual design principles to consider when designing for space. We represent the laws and behaviours that rule and overturn how we perceive ourselves in a zero gravity context through a series of dreamy and fascinating videos, in cui macchie di colore in movimento, trasmesse da sonde lontane e cariche di rumore, si intrecciano al linguaggio puntale e minimale della visual identity.

Noisy frames of colored nebulas and orbitanting planets are recorded by an old travelling space probe, in conversation with an accurate and minimal visual interface reporting soft data on space travelling, radioactive explosions, and extraterrestrial survival.
