Politecnico di Milano at the 24th Triennale Milano "Inequalities"

The first immersive installation, “NOT FOR HER. AI Revealing the Unseen”, is the result of a collaboration between the Departments of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, Design, Architecture, Built Environment, and Construction Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. It is a project that combines research, design and technology to focus the spotlight on gender inequality through artificial intelligence. The immersive path unfolds in two stages: a multimedia triptych that critically reinterprets “life hacks,” digital formats that often convey unconscious bias, and transforms them into tools for ethical and inclusive reflection; an interactive experience where an adaptive AI simulates a job interview replicating discriminatory dynamics in the professional sphere. A technological yet deeply human reflection.

The second installation, “The Space of Inequalities: Environment, Mobility and Citizenship”, curated by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) and the CRAFT Research Centre at Politecnico di Milano, offers a collective narrative and reading of inequalities from a territorial perspective, articulated in three thematic focuses: climate impact, access to resources and limitations to mobility, lack of citizenship rights due to housing and service exclusion processes. The installation is structured on two levels: a global narrative through three immersive short films featuring international voices, and a local representation of the Milan metropolitan area using maps, data, and a dedicated physical model.

This contribution fully represents the interdisciplinary and social approach of Politecnico’s culture, where science serves well-being and equity.
