Xcessive Aesthetics

Xcessive Aesthetics is an all-female interdisciplinary design collective exploring data and alternate realities through spatial installations. XA was founded in 2019 with the idea of combining spatial design and digital tools in unconventional ways, on the one hand to explore the hidden biases behind emerging technologies, and on the other to create accessible and playful public installations that spark digital and physical interactions. Xcessive Aesthetics has exhibited installations in major cultural institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Wellcome Collection in London and the Fundación Proa in Buenos Aires, has participated in design festivals such as Transmediale 2023, London Design Festival 2022 and Buenos Aires Architecture Biennial 2022 and has been featured in publications such as Arch+, The Architects’ Journal and Terraforma Journal. Members from the collective currently lead a Bachelors design studio at Design Academy Eindhoven titled Studio Digital Native. XA is made up of 6 members based in London and internationally, from Istanbul to Bangkok.
