Milan for these moments… Villa Necchi Campiglio and Rituals Around the Machines by HPO, Bill Kouligas and Rashid Uri, in which “machines leverage all recycled content on hand by swallowing/shredding/digesting Nike's DiSAssembly Park installation - giving it both a renewed physical and metaphysical purpose. In the spirit of SPA's core principles (Improve, Scavenge, Protect, Adapt) its demise is re-processed into a dedicated ‘disassembly’ inspired soundscape by Bill Kouligas.”

Villa Necchi Campiglio was completed by the architect Piero Portaluppi in 1935, following a commission by the Necchi Campiglio family, part of Milan’s industrial bourgeoisie of the 1930s. Legend has it that the building was conceived in a vision: lost in fog after a show at suburban La Scala, Necchi, decided to have a villa built in the city to look like a country home. Portaluppi’s faith in new technology ensured it incorporated industrial materials, electricity and a heated swimming pool.
