For Milan Design Week 2026, AATB took part in Nike’s Air Lab at Dropcity, the new design and craft centre in Milan. Over the week, AATB and the mentors it invited ran a programme of robotics workshops, and showed two linked installations built around air: Anticlimatic Clock (cold), where a vortex tube draws frost on polished steel, and Anticlimatic Clock (hot), where hot air clears thermochromic paint on brass.
