CCarta® is a design duo and media outlet formed by Enzo Carrieri and Erik Gütschow. We rely on research and narrative systems to fuel investigations in culture, communication, art and design. We research, write and design on our own and for projects interested in breaching algorithmic commonplaces.
Currently based in São Paulo, Brazil and Barcelona, Spain.

*This website’s design is inspired by Indexhibit, a pioneering web-based CMS created in 2006 by Jeffery Vaska and Daniel Eatock. Indexhibit is an important, often overlooked milestone in digital media. It represents both a tool and a cultural artifact that shaped how independent creators, artists, and small institutions published and archived their work online in the 2000s.
