Venice Biennale of Architecture -
Spatial Intelligens

Role:

Motion Graphic Designer
Animator

Overview:

Spatial Intelligens is an AI-powered exhibition guide developed for the 2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture. The project was collaboratively conceived and designed by OTM, Sub, and curator Carlo Ratti, as a first-of-its-kind mobile application for the Biennale.

The system integrates computer vision and large language models into a multimodal platform that localizes visitors in real time and delivers spatially indexed content across the exhibition. By visualizing interactions both individually and in aggregate, the application transforms the Arsenale into a responsive analytical environment—revealing how the exhibition is navigated, perceived, and interpreted by its audience.
