  1. WHAT? tì te se minga chì (operazione guerrilla). // WHERE: in giro per milano, nelle zone più calcate del fuorisalone. // WHEN: da lunedì 16 aprile, a oltranza. // WHO: per tutti i milanesi e no, per quelli che durante la settimana del fuorisalone amano riempirsi la bocca di design e per quelli che a milano ci sono nati, per celebrare la tecnocrazia contemporanea e la nostalgia dei tempi andati. // WHY: “tì te se minga chì” è un progetto nato per caso, scaturito da una riflessione sulla società contemporanea in vista della probabile riapertura dei navigli, nell’ottica di creare una realtà aumentata nostalgica. camminando per le vie del fuorisalone (tortona, lambrate, statale, brera, e nelle stazioni della metro) troverete dei poster della milano vecchia, quella dei navigli, della gente riversata in strada e delle gare di nuoto urbane, conditi da qr code, che indirizzeranno i possessori di smartphone (razzismo tecnologico) a contenuti multimediali a dir poco stupefacenti. enjoy
