automato.farm

automato.farm is a design and research collective based in Shanghai, Beijing & Rotterdam exploring near and future technologies leak in the everyday.

We research, experiment and prototype present and future experiences with complex and intelligent systems. We design interfaces, products, and installations for international clients and institutions. Sometimes real and sometimes fictional. If you have an unknown future to explore, a weird machine to prototype or if you are scared of robots, give us a call.
