At FakePress we have just started teaching 3 courses on Interaction Design at the Faculty of Architecture of Rome’s University “La Sapienza”. We will use these courses as an opportunity to enact what I can only refer to as “the most contemporary form of political action I can think of”.
Squatting Supermarkets occupies and reinterprets the spaces and times of commerce, to enact critical practices and poetical reflections, superimposing a free and accessible digital space on ordinary reality.
