automato.farm is a design and research group based in Shanghai, Beijing and Rotterdam exploring the implication of future technology leaking in the everyday through real and fictional products. We started working together in 2014, combining their research interests in Ethics of Algorithms, Cybernetics, Connected Products and Human Robot interaction. We developed ethical algorithms for cars to deal with complicated decision making on the road, created future jobs that emerge as a bi-product of trainable machines, designed politically biased products, self-selling appliances addicted to their own use and more.We use design and technology as a way to dig deeper into algorithms and behaviors of machines, to look into complex black boxes and make them a bit more transparent. We exhibit our work in major design and art museum and festivals like Vitra Design Museum and FILE festival, teach about intelligence as new materials to be shaped in universities around the world and collaborated with companies and institutions to think about the dark and ironic side of the future for them.
