augmented structures

"The project brings together disparate disciplines like sound, architecture and the visual arts which influence one another to such a degree that it is impossible to separate them. While the project reexamines the world in visual and aesthetic terms, in its capacity as an “interdisciplinary transformation” project it also questions the point where art and architecture stand today and the point they might reach in future."  via http://salon2.info/portfolio/augmented-structures

play big

"In a project for HP promoting their TouchSmart PCs, interactive artists ceded that control to participants. Instead of the computers being in the hands of the performers, they’re touchable by anyone, for an open, collaborative experience of the work." peter kirn, http://createdigitalmotion.com/2012/04/mapping-av-to-architecture-a-touchscreen-project-puts-participants-in-control-in-chicago-video/

russian pavilion

"Every surface inside the top floor of the Russian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale is covered in QR codes, which visitors decode using tablet computers to explore ideas for a new Russian city dedicated to science." via dezeen  http://www.dezeen.com/2012/08/29/russian-pavilion-at-venice-architeture-biennale-2012/

living architecture

"Silviya Ilieva’s project, Living Architecture, was also included in a selection of highlights from the show featured in Wired Magazine.It will also be published in the book “CITY-SENSE: Shaping our environment with real time data” in Barcelona by the Institute for Advanced Architecture in Catalonia (IAAC). The publication is a result of participation in a competition which looked for examples of intelligent sensor-driven behavioural systems."   via http://maadm.org/2012/06/12/ma-adm-at-kinetica-2012/ video at  http://vimeo.com/41809688

refract

"REFRACT is designed to embrace and deploy the phenomena of light. Triangulated planar surfaces of acrylic modules are the receivers of reflection and refraction from precise folds, which respond to light in an entirely different, more concentrated manner. The transparent acrylic has the capability of existing as both seen and unseen, dependent upon the presence of light."  Adam Anderson, via notcot.org  http://www.adameanderson.com/refract/
