VISUAL ART DIRECTION, CONCEPT AND DESIGN OF A SOCIAL CAMPAIN
“Not in my planet”, a social campaign against
the use of plastic started in April 2019 in Trento
Italy. The campaign searches through beauty,
and by using art as a medium of provocation,
a contrast to raise awareness.
Inviting Mandy Barker and soon other artists
the viewer is guided to a more responsible use of plastic and in consequential reduce. A campaign based on a linear grid and schema
like in Barker’s pictures: tiny plastic elements
which trigger the attention are floating and
mesmerizing the viewer. The campaign is in development an will be updated during autumn / winter 2019. All the design, concept and visual are made by me for the city of Trento and the studio Kiné.coop.
︎ This is Arianna's visual archive: an incomplete constellation of projects, traces, and experiments.
I'm a Polish-Italian designer working at the intersection of visual research, systemic transitions, and ecological imagination. At Dark Matter Labs I move between roles depending on what a project needs: visual sensemaking, design strategy, narrative direction. My practice is always collaborative, shaped by the people and places I work with, and by a stubborn curiosity about how things are made, who they are for, and who gets to shape them.
Outside of DML, I perform with a theremin in the sound duo Younger Siblings, and I carry with me the education philosophy I helped build at La Scuola Open Source in Bari, where I once directed the education programme: learning as a collective, failure as method, permission not to know.

This website is an archive: part memory, part method, part map. It isn’t intended as a formal portfolio. For that, reach out to my human version.

Projects are intentionally scattered rather than sorted. Some are dense, complex ecosystems that unfolded over months or years. Others are small but charged with meaning. I’ll soon add a diagram to map them by complexity, scope, ethics, impact, methodology, and who collaborated with me on what.
Scrolling the image gallery you’ll find research inquiries, commissioned freelance work, poetic interventions, and pieces made in response to real and imagined futures. Some are made for people, some with them ︎︎︎ and some are dedicated to beings with many legs, wings, or forgotten stories.
︎
The projects speak many languages as the involved partners: Italian, English, French, Polish, Dutch, Icelandic, German mostly, but not only. Full credits are on their way. Nothing here was made alone. ︎

This site isn’t super user-friendly yet. A more accessible and funkier version is planned for 2026-27.
