Art is run by business,
seduced by science,
influenced by markets
and driven by technology, therefore
it must remain inspired by life.

2008AirXY ~ a multimedia installation for the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale ~ combining real time animation, sensors, haze, light and sound. Large-scale screen and floor projections confront and engage visitors passing through the massive space of the Corderie dell’Arsenale. The screen is a clock and responsive real time capture of the presence of visitors while the floor projection gradually reveals a fleeting architecture in the haze. ~ AirXY situates itself at the intersection of architecture, media and communications where human and technical ecologies merge into a new perspective. ~ In this way, AirXY introduces new spaces of meaning and presence: an architecture of in between moments-of air and the ephemeral. (w/Chris Salter)
