nChant Augmented Reading
Interactive Installation
The installation “How to Scale a Garden?” was an interactive installation exposed at “MERGE Research Synthesis 01” exposition in Milan. The installation explores the relationship between community, software, and freedom through an expanded reading of nCHANT #01, REINCANTAMENTO's new monographic magazine.
Visitors engage with a “hacked” version of the publication of nCHANT that responds to page turning. Each page is associated with a specific content, displayed through a large-scale LED wall. The work demonstrates how critical ideas can take material form beyond traditional publishing constraints.
The physical layout of the installation bridges print and digital media. The publication is positioned directly in front of a towering LED wall. As visitors turn its pages, the wall responds dynamically extending the printed content into a luminous, interactive field.

The installation explores digital gardens - personal websites that grow organically through care and curiosity rather than algorithmic optimization, as forms of technological resistance to platform capitalism.
