A hoodie is not just a hoodie. In a world full of stuff, smart items should be transformable, editable. They should engage the possibility to be transformed into something else. We do not need a new object, a new thing. Rather we need to get rid of some of them, to reduce the complex network of things around us.
Just undo it is a collection of reversible objects that could be made from a hoodie at no cost, no particular knowledge nor tools.
The instructions about how to make a computer sleeve was just published in this month issue of WIRED Italia. Check it out.
Stefano Mirti published on Abitare’s blog this interview I have made with Andrea Branzi in November 2004. The original version was released in 2005: ‘Andrea Branzi: la ville continue [Interview with Andrea Branzi]’ in Moniteur Architecture AMC no.150 March 2005 / p.88-94. It was never published in Italian before, so thank you Stefano.
Yökalenteri means, in Finnish language, “Night Calendar”. A calendar that displays the minutes of night time in Helsinki throughout the year. Yökalenteri hosts “Rêvalités”, a work of Finnish Poet and writer Cia Rinne.”Rêvalités” consists of 36 mini prose pieces, dreams recorded during the time span of a year, which thematically deal with a variety of issues.
Yökalentari (Inkjet on paper 375×154 cm) will be on display at “Terra Infirma“, curated by Chiara Sartori, visiting curator at ISCP, NY. “Terra Infirma” gathers the works of six international renowned artists, exploring the ways in which a geographical context is able to affect emotions. Addressing feelings of melancholy and sorrow, the exhibition tentatively links attempts to interact with, modify and understand natural phenomena, landscapes and geographical codifications with the subtle and ephemeral emotional dimension of human existence.
Participating Artists: Rosa Barba, Laurent Grasso, Alban Hajdinaj, Marie Velardi.
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 14 6-9 PM
Gallery Hours: Friday, January 15, 2-16
Open weekly until February 14 every Saturday and Sundays 2-6 PM

Italia in fumo is a project in collaboration with Peppe Clemente for the promotion of the Italian constitution. The articles are framed within the graphic appearance of the non smoking policy of the European Community. Italia in fumo means, in Italian, “Italy made of smoke” and “Italy is burning out”. Our intent is to claim the deep gap between the actual country and the beauty of its constitution. You can download DIY devices for “non smoking” Italian Constitution here.
