Thrilled to announce the launch of HAQUE TAN, my new design studio with @LingQL combining the scale of architecture with the ingenuity of art & the eccentricities of technology. Our mission is to make spaces more democratic, inclusive & culturally-driven. haquetan.com

@golan when i did my version almost a quarter century ago i referenced a half-dozen similar projects going back to the early 70s incl Galloway/Rabinowitz and others; i've seen a half-dozen more since.... so... in answer to your musing: yes/no/and also.... haque.co.uk/work/worldview/

// Privately musing about whether or not this is the same piece as Hole in Space, and what, morally or otherwise, is owed to Kit, who is still alive but effectively in retirement. Today’s context (post-Zoom) is utterly different, as is the public reaction (wonder vs. obscenity).

Fans of #ThePortal by @BenediktasGylys may be interested in "Hole in Space" (1980) by Kit Galloway & Sherrie Rabinowitz, a "public communication sculpture" that connected pedestrians in NYC and LA with 2-way video. It's #1127.1983 in the MoMA collection. youtube.com/watch?v=SyIJJr…

My latest interactive work Playing Democracy 2.0, exploring the principles of democracy through play, is ready for touring! Looking for interested venues/partners, please DM me if you have any suggestions! #interativeart

Delighted to see our (HAQUE TAN) latest project Wild Imaginarium, the entrance for @GreatOrmondSt, is featured @RIBAJ! - with @uah @GOSH_School

Presenting my latest work Playing Democracy 2.0 at one of my favourite art & tech festival STRP @strpfest !This year's theme explores "A Matter of Freedom". Opening tomorrow 🖤 📍Microstad, Eindhoven. strp.nl/program/playin…

Super stoked that Wild Imaginarium is featured in @architectsjournal! @uah and I recently wrote about how we used AI in the co-creation process, the impact of AI on architecture/design and why it’s useful to think of AI as a cultural infrastructure. architectsjournal.co.uk/news/reimagini…

PROJECT ANNOUNCE – Our new work Wild Imaginarium serves as the primary entrance for Great Ormond Street Hospital @GreatOrmondSt, one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals, during a major construction period over the next few years. 📍Guildford Street, London #haquetan

We want to create unforgettable architecture, systems & experiences that get people working together, co-creating diverse shared futures. More soon, but for now here’s a peek: haquetan.com/wild-imaginari… Drop us a line if you’re looking to transform a building, space, or even a city.

I made a series of short films as part of my residency @CompassFestLDS, where I worked with 4 local Leeds residents to explore how different age, background, heritage, and life experience affects the way people cook food at home and in tackling the climate crisis. See link in bio

Last week @LingQL & I hosted a 'More Than Human Citizen Assembly' to explore making collective decisions with our non-human neighbours, combining subjective, real-time & contextual data as inputs into an AI/LLM to simulate conversations with trees & vote on collective action...

@evgenymorozov I have an old H1, presume that won't do, but it's here as a backup if needed...

Anyone in London who could lend me a Zoom H5 (or similar) recorder for a few hours on Oct 10th? Or any leads on where I can rent one? I've left on another long trip without mine but will need it to record something.

... as an immersive interactive fiction at Festa do Outono, using AI/LLM to create a conversational interface for some of the non-human inhabitants of the park, so we can see what it's like to deliberate and make collective multi-species decisions about the future.

Looking for someone to video document a 2 hour workshop in Porto, Portugal this Saturday morning, anyone who's based in Porto available or can recommend? (please share) @LingQL and I are putting together a More-Than-Human Citizen Assembly...

This time next month, I'll be free for new client work after a pretty full on summer with @superflux I tend to thrive at the intersection of design, climate change and tech ethics. I can freelance or work in-house. DMs open. #opentowork linkedin.com/in/designswarm/
