The Rotonda del Pellegrini, a 16th-century Milanese architectural landmark just behind the Duomo, defined by its central plan and circular geometry, becomes an integral part of the project: an orbital vessel imagined as a spacecraft, where each floor corresponds to a different condition of experience.
The installation unfolds across three distinct levels, which can be read both as a progression and as an open system. Visitors are free to move through these environments, activating personal connections, like a series of sliding doors, where each passage generates a different narrative configuration.
The journey suggests a crescendo: from the Lab, a space of observation and control where the history of the MCM brand intertwines with a new collection of objects, to Disco Mars, conceived as a collective device in which human bodies and robotic presences share the same space, and finally to the Diva Dome, a suspended, ritual dimension where gravity dissolves and a monumental sculpture enters into dialogue with the human voice.
Disco on Mars is conceived as an experiential environment where the aesthetics of space travel become a metaphor for freedom. Here, sound acts as an invisible architecture that structures perception, while opera is transposed into a post-human dimension.
Within this system, objects become collectibles and narrative devices, artifacts of a possible future through which one accesses different layers of experience. Body and technology are reinterpreted within a transitional space where temporalities collapse, opening new scenarios.
Rather than abandoning function, design today is the discipline that redefines it.
