With the aim to question long-established narratives on the role of fieldwork, data collection and processing, the work of Studio Folder tries to visualise their histories, by interrogating the relationships between live data and the archive, and exploring different modes for the production of spatial knowledge.
About Studio Folder
Studio Folder is an agency for visual design and spatial research based in Milan, Italy, and co-founded by Marco Ferrari and Elisa Pasqual in 2012. The studio focuses on the visualisation of ideas and information across a diverse range of outcomes and fields—from speculative digital platforms, to interactive installations, data visualisations, publications, and identities. The studio operates within an extensive and international network of collaborations both with cultural institutions and commercial enterprises, from individuals to foundations, companies, and galleries—while actively engaging in the investigation of autonomous research paths. Italian Limes—a long-term cartographic and political inquiry into melting glaciers and shifting Alpine borders—was awarded a Special Mention at the 2014 Venice Biennale Architecture Exhibition. This research has been rendered into a book—co-authored by Marco Ferrari, Elisa Pasqual and Andrea Bagnato, and co-published in 2019 by Columbia Books on Architecture and the City and ZKM Karlsruhe—titled A Moving Border. Alpine Cartographies of Climate Change.
