Italy Aesthetic Playground Worldwide. Fashion, photography, graphics, architecture – The Fashionable Lampoon is an intellectual collision. We use Italian culture as a strong reference. We want to remain consistent on this: The Fashionable Lampoon is a magazine that brings a hyper-contemporary Italian taste to the world (it’s just a chronicle).

In this issue:

Lampoon MECCANO.  We are feeding what will destroy us.  Artificial intelligences are learning to do without us — our labor,  our creativity, our mistakes. And yet: perfection has never interested us. Romain Laprade goes to Uzbekistan, where post-Brutalist architecture still believes — half-collapsed — in the machine as salvation. OMA/AMO’s diagrams become art: a diagram is never innocent. Goshka Macuga talks about systems that work too well. Clara Hastrup exposes the magic trick. Mat Maitland makes AI artworks and asks what it means to have a hand when the machine has learned it already. Yuko Mohri
follows motors, fish, and minor disasters — in that order. We will not surrender. And if machines ever reach the point of crushing our hearts — who cares.
