An exhibition examining the technological possibilities of architectural theory and practice signals the formation of AVATAR, a new Bartlett research group. AVATAR, or Advanced Virtual and Technological Architecture Research Group, is the brainchild of Professor Neil Spiller and brings together both staff and former students who are interested in the impact of advanced technology on architectural design.
At first glance, Chris Groothuizen’s renderings looked like they’d come from the set of a science fiction film but in reality, they’re a study into the potential interaction between synthetic and organic life. “It describes autonomous agents that shape and interpret the data-saturated environment providing portraits of intersubjectivity that are shared between artificial entities and ourselves. The work proposes an exploration and interaction that is designed to enhance curiosity in the face of emergent phenomena, which is by definition beyond our control”, explained Chris.
