The New Human Arrives in Milan
Milano Design Week · Friday, April 24, 2026 · Google Milan HQ - Doors Open @ 2pm
Something has been growing
Since March 6, a collective has been quietly at work — across Milan, San Francisco, and beyond. Artists, technologists, and designers, building not just projects but new ways of thinking, feeling, and creating together.
The New Human Creative Hackathon was never a competition. It was an engine. A space to prototype futures — with questions instead of answers, with collaboration instead of code.
On April 24, during Milano Design Week, we open the doors.
This year’s theme
The New Human asks simple but uncomfortable questions:
When thinking is shared between humans and machines, who is the author?
When bodies are augmented, what remains deeply human?
When everything is connected, how do we design for care and agency?
White Mirror
We don’t try to answer. We create space to experience. A future shaped by imagination, not fear.
One space. One system.
What began as individual explorations now comes together — not as separate works, but as one collective expression.
11+ installations, performances, and prototypes — alive, responsive, evolving
Each project responds to presence. Each piece evolves through interaction. Each moment is slightly different from the one before.
Built through four creative archetypes:
The Alchemist
The Storyworld Architect
The Systems Imagineer
The Embodied Explorer
An invitation to play, feel, and explore a selection of works: https://www.codame.com/s/showcase
Not a showcase. An experience.
This is not about observing. It is about stepping inside — into a space where works are not presented but alive. They respond. They evolve. They invite participation.
These are not finished pieces. They are living systems — glimpses of what creativity becomes when human and machine intelligence meet and begin to shape something together.
And you are not an audience. You are a participant in a co-hackathon still in motion. A shared space where exploration continues, where your presence leaves a trace.
First public experience
What has been taking shape through the hackathon now begins to surface.
Two new CODAME initiatives emerge from this process: CODAME ARTEX and Print Club.
ARTEX
A new medium for living art.
Art that is not fixed. Art that responds. Art that stays alive.
What started as experiments during the hackathon evolves here into something more continuous — a medium where artworks keep changing, adapting, and living over time.
On April 24, ARTEX will be experienced publicly for the first time.
Print Club
The 45 RPM single of the art world.
In parallel, another expression takes form.
We remember when discovery felt like a gift — when you would stumble across an artist you didn’t know, and something stayed with you.
CODAME Print Club brings that feeling back into the physical world — something you can hold, share, trade, and live with.

📍 Google Milan
🕖 Doors open at 2pm
Among thousands of events at Milano Design Week — a space to slow down and step into something different. A space where art is not just seen, but felt.
Space is limited. If this resonates, get your ticket and step inside. Don’t be left out.
The journey continues
Milan is just the beginning. This work will continue to evolve — through ARTEX, through our Print Club, and through upcoming moments in: San Francisco, Berlin, and Shanghai.
We don’t build the future alone.
We build it together.
Really proud of this. What began as a shared experiment across cities and time zones is now becoming something people can step into and feel in Milan. Grateful to everyone shaping this with us. The New Human keeps emerging. 💜
