Ore Streams is an investigation into the recycling of electronic waste [...] The project makes use of a diversity of media (objects, video and animation) to address the topic from multiple perspectives. The goal is to offer a platform for reflection and analysis on the meaning of production and how design could be an important agent in developing a more responsible use of resources.

Dam Steffen, Cabinet of Curiosities, (since 2011-) 2018.
«The idea behind the cabinets is to create a collection of objects that seem plausible, even though they’re not» says the Danish artist of the imaginary creatures he conjures from glass. «They’re at a cross point between fiction and reality. There’s science to it — but also a touch of magic».

Formafantasma in collaboration with Kew Gardens, The archive of lost forests, in Cambio, 2020 (ongoing investigation). Clients: Serpentine Sackler Galleries.
Cambio is an ongoing investigation conducted by Studio Formafantasma into the extraction, production and distribution of wood products, commissioned by Serpentine Galleries. The multidisciplinary exhibition (Serpentine Sackler Galleries, London, March 4th – May 17th, 2020) highlights the crucial role that design can play in our environment, and its responsibility to look beyond the edges of its borders. The future of design can and must attempt to translate emerging environmental awareness into a renewed understanding of the philosophy and politics of trees that will encourage informed collaborative responses.
