EXHIBITION //
The digitalisation in contemporary culture has profoundly influenced our experience of architecture and spatial phenomena. Technology extends human agency and open our minds for new opportunities, but it also raises fundamental questions concerning the status of the human users: the way we perceive, the role of our bodies, notions of consciousness, cultural conventions for social life etc.
At this exhibition Maskinstorm displayed four installations by internationally acknowledged artists and groups. The pieces are all generative artworks, which mean that they can not be understood independently from the agency of the human users. The artworks consist of an open field of aesthetic scenarios which unfold in the interplay between algorithms and the presence of the visitors in the exhibition space.

CALCIFICATIONS, 2007
New work by CITA, Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (Denmark). Collaborators: Mette Ramsgard Thomsen, Chiron Mottram, Martin Tamke, Kristine Agergaard Jensen, Karin Bech and Norbert Palz.
Visitors are met by red wine glasses and a decanter on a table. The interactive table is framing a social situation as it develops but it also frames a meeting between human beings and artificial intelligent agents. The results of these meetings are reflected in the imagery projected on the table, as the glasses are filled, moved and emptied. The social and cultural rituals connected to the sharing of wine are visualised as events that develops and slowly erodes over time – like a process of calcification. Read more: link |

UNTITLED 5, 2004
Camille Utterback (USA)
An ingoing painterly process is projected on a translucent screen hanging in the central stairwell at the Danish Architecture Centre. The aesthetics of "Untitled 5" is open and evocative and it unfolds live in response to the presence of people in the exhibition space. Visitors feel encouraged to examine the rules, layers and momentum of this kinetic piece by the movements of their bodies. Visitors thereby transform the situated space through the creation of new aesthetic experiences. www.camilleutterback.com |

APARTMENT, 2001
Marek Walczak and Martin Wattenberg (USA)
Visitors are confronted with a blinking cursor. As they type words and sentences in English rooms begin to take shape in the form of a two-dimensional plan projected on a drawing table. The plan is constantly morphing and restructuring as new words are added. Typing words and generating apartments is an act of playful exploration, but it is also an invitation to critical reflection about the spatial organisation of everyday language. www.turbulence.org/Works/apartment/ |

THE CENTRAL CITY, 2001
Stanza (England)
Urban sounds from Istanbul and live images from CCTV cameras in London. Stanza use material stored as data from cities around the world in his generative artworks. "The Central City" invites us on an aesthetic journey in an online urban environment where grids and plans are deconstructed as new and often organic compositions of sound and images are created. www.thecentralcity.co.uk |
