I’m Marco Zamarato, an interaction designer gone rogue, a technologist, and a synthesist (both literally and metaphorically speaking) and this is my archive and canvas for experimentation.
Over the years I went from designing awards-winning games and experiences to supporting R&D departments of companies like Nokia, Al Jazeera, HP, Intel, Vodafone. Eventually I joined Google where I have been going into a rabbit hole of OS and platform design.
Today I am part of Google AI Research working in a small multi-disciplinary team investigating the complex overlap of technology and society.
As a generalist I am interested in complex systems and I use design as a methodology to bring different disciplines together and create the infrastructures needed for useful and beneficial technologies. Showing my work in a traditional design portfolio is difficult since infrastructures and systems tend to be hidden from product UIs so I am using this website to tell the stories behind some of the projects I contributed to and to further research topics of speculative design, worldbuilding, and community co-creation.
The pairing might be odd but beyond articles of design here you will also find my other audiovisual experiments and a collection of books that inspired me.
