Exhibiting and sharing the work and research of a range of designers, each redefining the blurry landscape of their disciplines.

Away from convention, embracing chaos and clarity
We chose Blindspot as our moniker because it implies radicality on the one hand, suggesting work that escapes conventions, but on the other hand implies skepticism and caution. We recognize that our scope is always partial and incomplete, and yet there is daring, even in its unacknowledged embryonic stages.

Blue (josé CADILHE, julia ALMEIDA, michail DESYLLAS, & salih TOPAL): This research is based on a conceptual approach toward synthetic ecologies—systems created to develop symbiotic relations with the environment.
