In 2011, Grima became the editor-in-chief of Domus, and stayed on till 2013.[7][23][24][21] He has also been Director of Storefront for Art and Architecture, NYC and the Artistic Director of Matera; European Capital of Culture 2019.[5] In 2013, together with Tamar Shafrir, Grima founded Space Caviar; an architecture and research studio operating at the intersection of design, technology, politics and the public realm.[25] One of the projects, FOMO algorithm-generated journalism machine, was presented in the 2014 Milan Design Week for automatically creating magazine articles from live speech as well as social media.[26][21][27][28][29][30][31][32]
