Opening 12/2 Q Department heading to Art Basel Miami with Marco Brambilla: After Utopia

Q Department’s collaboration on Marco Brambilla: After Utopia, opening at The Wolfsonian FIU during Art Basel

After Utopia explores how we grapple with ideas about the future. Brambilla uses artificial intelligence (AI) and computer graphics (CG) to construct virtual landscapes inspired by world’s fairs, combining and animating images of iconic structures from 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century expositions. Reimagined together and interpreted through new tools, these visual symbols of nostalgia and optimism create surreal scenes each an expression of our aspirations toward better living through technology. Brambilla pulled from The Wolfsonian’s archives to shape his work, which is shown in dialogue with the collection exhibition World’s Fairs: Visions of Tomorrow.

For the soundtrack, Drazen Bosnjak and Q Department transformed AI-generated interpretations of the national anthems of world’s fair host nations, reducing them to their emotional essence and reshaping them into a sparse, ascending composition. The result subtly reflects the installation’s inquiry into the imagination we bring to our visions of tomorrow.

A Cinematic Ode to Nature and Craft Premiering alongside Armadillo’s new rug collection designed in collaboration with Catalonian artist Carla Cascales Alimbau and Invisible North, Chiaroscuro is a poetic film exploring the rhythms of nature and the instinctual act of making. Captured through the evocative lens of Academy Award–winning cinematographer Greig Fraser (Dune, The Batman, Rogue One, Lion) and edited by Loren Askill, the film invites viewers into a meditative dialogue between light and shadow, movement and stillness. Directed by Fraser’s partner and Armadillo co-founder Jodie Fried, the journey spans Australia, Nepal, India, and Barcelona, tracing the convergence of fine art, hand-crafted design, and ecology. Q Department served as the sound partner crafting the music, sound design, and mix that shape its immersive atmosphere. The film and the accompanying Gaia Collection are on display for a limited time at 13–17 Crosby Street, New York. Go see!

Season Greetings from everyone at Q Department.

On behalf of our clients & collaborators Q Department has made a donation to Farm Aid.

With Gratitude & Best Wishes for the New Year!

As another year of boundless creativity, doing what we love alongside the greatest humans on Earth, comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect.

From Super Bowl campaigns to mixing on the world’s greatest canvas, the Sphere in Vegas, from Emmy-nominated VR to groundbreaking art-world collaborations, we’ve chased the muse, bent the rules, and turned the dials past 11 in service of the craft and creating moments that resonate with the human experience.

With gratitude, we look to 2025, celebrating the prolific collaborations that made 2024 extraordinary: here are some of our teams favs!

We are bound by a mission to make the world sound better.

Farm Aid, founded in 1985 by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp, has supported family farmers and sustainable agriculture for nearly four decades.
