A PUBLIC DIGITAL SPACE AT HOME
The basic principles of a home are shelter and a safe environment for its user. Whether it is raining, storming or sunny outside, your home is where you retreat to. Home has always played this role for humankind since the agricultural era. However, through changes in history, the home has changed as well. A home has evolved from a public place during the Archaic period to a private space during the Industrial period, when every family had their own home. Now in the 21st century, or the data age, the concept of a home has changed again.

Last December we co-produced (video soon available online!) a live curated online exhibition, a new concept we had fun exploring together with the great Delta Lab (Rijeka, Croatia) team. Online live-curated Fiume Fantastika: Phenomena of a city stepped up from a standard Zoom lecture and introduced us to a new and more dynamic concept. Fiume Fantastika was the first online exhibition of the new Nights of Architecture format.
