Our new Co-Curators for SHAPESHIFT 2026
We’re pleased to welcome technologist-designer Maciej Zasada and immersive-experience lead Karol Góreczny as co-curators of the upcoming edition. Maciej’s work—spanning Google, Amazon, and Disney—often turns emerging tech into everyday tools. Karol, formerly Head of Design at UNIT9, guides projects for Meta, Nike, and Formula 1 that blur the line between physical and digital space.
Together they’ll shape a programme that asks how design and technology can move from prototype to lived experience—details to follow in the months ahead.
