Numero Cromatico and glo Make Art From Algorithms for Milan Design Week

Art and algorithms don’t usually go together – art is typically created by humans, while algorithms are digital. But at this year’s Milan Design Week, Numero Cromatico successfully combined these two different worlds.

Working with glo, a group of artists unveiled a new installation at Palazzo Moscova inspired by the 2026 design fair theme, Be the Project. The artwork, titled Y.O.U Your Own Universe, combined art, psychology, and technology, building on the collective’s history of challenging modern societal norms. It used artificial intelligence to create phrases that were projected onto the courtyard walls, forming an immersive digital environment.

A key feature of the installation was getting the audience involved. During the exhibition, visitors could share their thoughts about the future on a large circular screen. These contributions were combined to create a unique connection between people and technology, which the artist, Numero Cromatico, describes as a way to predict the future through technology – an ‘algorithmic oracle’.

The new glo Hilo and glo Hilo Plus devices were designed to provide a unique experience for each user, and this idea was beautifully reflected in Numero Cromatico’s installation, which aimed to connect with everyone who saw it.

The artists explain that the installation isn’t meant to provide clear answers or one specific meaning. The phrases are intentionally open-ended and somewhat mysterious, leaving room for personal interpretation. This ambiguity is actually the point – the artwork encourages visitors to connect with it based on their own experiences, whether they relate to it or not, and to create their own understanding.

TopMob launched its installation at Milan Design Week in the Brera District, inviting attendees to experience a glimpse into the future of art and design. The event wasn’t just about showcasing innovative ideas; it also brought people together, sparking new discussions about how digital technology is shaping the design world.
