Atlas of Moving Matter is a transdisciplinary design-research workshop that investigates how contemporary urban systems can be translated into speculative objects, interactive environments, and spatial media prototypes. Inspired by the pedagogical legacy of MIT Media Lab’s Science Fiction to Science Fabrication, the workshop adopts the sci-fi object as a methodological tool: not as a fictional prop, but as a critical prototype through which emerging technological, ecological, and social conditions can be examined.
