🍎 An oio kind of school

Hello oio friends! We hope you packed your lunch (with a u) for this month's issue of oio news, because we’re going back to school, and it just so happens that this school is a villa with a pool in southern Italy. 👀

🌸 Spring is in the air

Hello oio friends, hope this email finds you well, just like the gif at the bottom!
We're all back home from our Barcelona off-site, closing off this year's series of big-brain oio workshops and lectures at some of Europe's best design schools. Meanwhile, we've been cooking up a bunch of projects that we're almost ready to share with the world. While we wait for them to cool off, we thought we'd share some teasers.

Bees have stung

Happy days oio readers! Spring has sprung and flowers have...flung? But most importantly you are reading the latest issue of oio news, fresh out of the press. The dark months are over, birds have sung and here at oio we have some news and updates, right here below. If you are a talented 2D / UI animator it could be your lucky day, and ours. We are looking for a freelance animator to join our team for a project, more info below. We are also starting a one-year residency at MuDAC - the museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts of Lausanne, and we are kicking-off the residency with an installation at the Milan Design Week. We are also organising our first out-person meeting (the opposite of in-person, hihi) and we are inviting all our Discord friends. But enough spoiling, please enjoy our latest news issue!

Things more change the same what

Hello oio friends, another month has passed. 2023 kicked off with a banger of new changes and projects, still under wraps, but keep watching this space. Just like my cousin Roby used to say: the more newsletters change, the more they stay the same, or something like that. What does that even mean?

Issue 9

Hello fellow humans and welcome to the first edition of the oio newsletter of the year 2022. It's a bit late for new year resolutions and all that, but we just entered the Year of the Tiger so I guess it is a new beginning after all. Speaking of fresh starts we are also witnessing some serious expansion of the oio team, new blood helping us to shape a less-boring future for everyone.

News from the sunny shores of oio

Before we get our beach balls, bathing suits and boomblasters ready for 'hot vaxx summer' we wanted to share yet another round of news, updates and GIFs from our side of the internet.

The past month we've been occupied across client briefs and internal development. Some related to AR games and cityscapes some related to smart plugs and switches. With travel restrictions lifting some of us also had the chance to meet in person for the first time!

Talking to things that talk

You're reading the June edition of oio's newsletter. A virtual summer postcard where we share updates, news, events and speculations from a not-too-distant future. This month we have been busy having a break before a hot summer of work, while finally planning some fun activities for our local community.

Most of us were at sea, contemplating wether to eat octopus or not, after watching this documentary, and ultimately ended up trying to talk to other cephalopods too.

Bouncing Interactions

This month we are extremely happy as we finally got to release one of our latest projects in the wild. It's bouncing, it's augmented and it's finally in reality.

Boats, Boats & NFTs

March is a month of transitions. Between winter and spring, first and second quarter and various levels of lockdowns. This month we've been exploring new research tracks, welcomed new members in the studio and tried to absorb the hit from the huge NFT and Suez waves that flooded the world (and our feeds).

Many, many Intelligences

This past month has been pretty busy on our side working full steam on some projects which unfortunately we cannot talk about yet. However, this month has also been very fruitful for our mission of exploring, workshopping, and writing about the present and future of human and machine intelligences.

Apologies for the double email, we had an issue with our image hosting provider and some images were not visible in the original one, happy reading.
