About the workshop
The workshop explores architectural consequences and challenges posed by the evolution of life forms. One century into the electronic age, we have become accustomed to interacting indirectly and mediated through networks stretching far beyond one-dimensional mechanistic body extensions. But now as digital technology becomes increasingly invisibly embedded in the everyday, more activities become mediated and networks extend rather than replace architecture. Design reflects not only how we deal within interfaces but also how we operate in situations where interactivity has become predominantly ambient, shifting previously mechanical paradigms to global, responsive and integral synthetic landscapes.
The workshop provides a forum to explore ideas of responsive and ambient environments. Participants will work with graphic media and/or motion graphics.
