maggio 14, 2011 da Giovanni Cervi
Ludiko are a duo of artist / designers devoted to the wild childish cretivity. They live in Omegna, Italy, close to a lake where their studio is open for residencies of similar minded people.
What is the kidult philosophy?
KIDULT comes from kid + adult .
Actually we are 100% kidult ( we start to belive it can be even a kind of disease..) and all we made is mainly for Kidult People.
Childish uncosciousness is required in the process of creation as well in the act of partecipation or observation”

Where do you live? can you describe it?
We live in Omegna, a small town on the Orta Lake, in the north-west of Italy.
The lake is just like an amniotic fluid. It gives as protection and nourishing.
Our Studio is a energy space close to a river, the source and the setting of our playful ideas.

Why do you think you don’t grow up?
Little children and teen-agers wants to grow up faster, while adult are wondering to be child again.
We are players, everyday we play. When you play you have not time to grow up.
When will you turn all adults into kids?
As Huizinga noted we are already living in the HOMO LUDENS Era.
Nowadays the main human need is the searching for enterneinment as survival to boredom.
Playtime is perfect against boredom and everytime we choose to play someway, somehow, we all spontaneously turn into kids.
