THE HOT METHOD
HOT is unique in how it brings together high level theoretical, fine art and literary thinking with award-winning design and direction.
The HOT archive is a thorough thought process. It is associative and analytical.
It is always surprising in its ability to coordinate different aspects of culture and society to present new ideas, a unique story or point of view.

It is always surprising in its ability to coordinate different aspects of culture and society to present new ideas, a unique story or point of view.
It is design fiction, where considered speculation leads to progressive ideas.
HOT is about living the experience of sustained curiosity.
HOT never stops learning and this self education provides a constantly renewed repository of technologies and languages.
