formAxioms was established in 2018 by Eva Castro and Federico Ruberto as a research framework, agency and teaching cluster. The laboratory prototypes spaces-interfaces-infrastructures for trans-subjective and collaborative-participatory operations, working to re-discover the emancipatory potential of art and design. formAxioms is a curatorial core at HotHouse.

He produces textual-material projects that intersect digital (platforms) and physical space (buildings), infra-structures (planetary urbanism), political economy, technology (of self) and (artificial) ecologies. Federico is co-founder and director of formAxioms and of the architectural practice reMIX Studio. He teaches at National University of Singapore.
