The Shadoor project envisions the year 2035, in which space has been absorbed into the operational systems of machines and intelligent objects, and proposes an alternative use of shadow as a mode of thought to preserve the last dignity of the human. Here, shadow is no longer a simple physical phenomenon, but functions as a representation of privacy and a medium that symbolizes freedom from mechanical surveillance.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
