All the steps that I made that night,
All the beats I have moved to, the lyrics are sang along to, -
All of it will be gone soon.
I’m glad I had a chance to feel it.

What started as an experiment in sound and space but it became a journey into the ways people connect — with environments, with each other, and with themselves. We set out to make things you could hear, but ended up creating things you could feel, inhabit, and shape. Along the way, we shaped ourselves too.

We’re proud of the odd, honest, and thoughtful moments this project allowed us to craft. And even prouder that it resonated with some of you.

Like all good experiments, this one has found its edge.

Thank you for listening.

The group exhibition Setting at Via Farini @viafarini_org featured 370MPa, a sound installation by Diego Gelosi @diegogelosi with a listening experience conceived in collaboration with @outofccontext

At the center of the work, a titanium X-ray slab rests on a microphone stand, transformed into an acoustic body through a series of gestures—tapping, rubbing, and scratching—captured and amplified in real time.

Outofcontext* contributed the design and production of the sound environment, integrating the OOC-SS02 modular sound system to support a more intimate encounter with the material. The installation invites visitors to tune into the subtle voice of the object itself—absent of narrative, resistant to resolution, and open to interpretation.

Production: Diego Gelosi, Giovanni Bettinelli, Arina Topal, Michele De Filippis.

[4K: Touching Grass in Ultra HD - Curated by Simona Coltello]

4K: Touching Grass in Ultra HD is a collective exhibit that reflects on artificial means of utopian life. Post Internet research, Early AI and 3D sculpture will be the main focuses to explore dystopian imaginaries, (chronically) online aesthetic influences, final-stage consumerism and promethean corruption of the artists’ depiction of beauty.

Collective Exhibition with:
Alfred Francis Pietroni
Anais Bianca Beltrame
Bautista Botto Barili
Covid Room
Dorsa Rafiee
Eyeguys
Eva & Franco Mattes
Francesco Saverio Tani

The @flaneur AW25 “Metropolis” collection presentation features a listening area designed by @outofccontext

Taking inspiration from the materials and archetypes that define urban life, the space is crafted from interwoven elements of polycarbonate and steel, mirroring the resilience and layered complexity of the modern city.

This listening area also marked the launch of our latest sound system, the OOC-SS02.

In line with a commitment to sustainability, every component of the setup has been designed to be dismantled, recycled, or repurposed for future projects, ensuring the thoughtful use of resources.

“The AW25 collection, Metropolis, dives into modern and future city life, capturing the essence of urban living as both an ever-evolving machine and a canvas for humanity’s creativity. Inspired by the dualities of the metropolis—its history and innovation, its physical infrastructure and digital overlays—this collection imagines how cities shape us and how we, in turn, shape them.”

Working on the SS02 sound system was a creative journey we started together with Pierre Rousseau (@prsseau). We spent a lot of time brainstorming and refining ideas, each step of the process brought us closer to something that felt both unique and true to the spirit of the concept of SS02. The outcome of this collaboration is the first custom physical copy, crafted from stained birch plywood.

The concept of silence in architecture transcends the mere absence of noise; it becomes an evocative presence that stirs deep emotions. Silence can be considered as a spatial dimension that engages human perception, fostering introspection and emotional depth. Architects such as Tadao Ando and Louis Kahn embody this idea in their work, where silence is expressed through the manipulation of light, shadows, and materials. Ando’s Church of Light, for instance, uses minimalism and the contrast between light and darkness to generate a space of spiritual quietude. Similarly, Kahn’s National Assembly in Dhaka employs monumental forms and deep shadows to create a sanctuary of tranquility, where silence becomes tangible.

This architectural approach to silence echoes John Cage’s theories, particularly in 4’33”, where silence is not the absence of sound but an openness to the environment’s ambient sounds. John Cage suggesting that silence, in both sound and space, creates a dialogue between the structure and its surroundings. Mies van der Rohe’s glass houses reflect this principle, where the environment becomes an integral part of the building’s presence, allowing nature to interact with the architecture through silence.

Thus, silence in architecture is more than quietness—it is a tool for creating emotional resonance and heightened awareness. This theoretical perspective sees silence as a key element in the design process, where materiality, light, and form are orchestrated for deep emotional and sensory experiences, turning architecture into a canvas for inner calm and spiritual connection.
