19:10 — Curatorial Framing: Symbiotic Societies
Christopher Schutte
Curator, Futures & Narrative Systems, Loop Exit™
This talk explores how minds, bodies, and societies are co-evolving as living, interdependent infrastructures.
Drawing on foresight and narrative research from Loop Exit™, we'll trace cultural tensions shaping our future: from extraction to empathy, optimization to care, artificial to living intelligence — scenarios already unfolding.
We'll introduce the Creative Hackathon - The New Human: “A playground for artists, technologists, and designers to prototype human–machine futures during Milan Design Week 2026.”

19:30 — Artistic Practice & Systems
Giovanni Muzio, Kesson
Kesson.io operates at the intersection of artistic practice, systems thinking, and emerging technologies.
Their work explores co-authorship between humans and machines, examining how agency, perception, and meaning shift when tools become collaborators—treating symbiosis as a lived, experiential condition rather than an abstract concept.
20:15 — Artistic–Speculative Intervention
Dario Biagio Torrisi — A.I. <3 POETRY
An artistic–speculative experiment challenging the paradigm of copyright and the artificial comprehension of poetic expression. Read through a relational lens, the work questions authorship, ownership, and originality in an era where language and creativity emerge from networks of human, cultural, and machine intelligence rather than a single author.
20:30 — Open Q&A & Conversation
A collective discussion with speakers and participants.
