JAMES LAW CYBERTECTURE INTERNATIONAL
Cybertecture Egg
Cybertecture is the revolutionary concept that provides a symbiotic relationship between the urban fabric and technology. Pioneered in 2001, Cybertecture forges both the hardware of the built environment and software systems and technologies from the micro to macro scales of development.The genesis of Cybertecture is in response to man’s progress into the 21st century, where working and living environments need to adapt and evolve to cope with the demands of modern working life. It plays an integral part in this evolution by providing awareness and connectivity via seamless integration of technology into the fabric of space.Cybertecture designs, from technology, products and interiors to systems, buildings and masterplans, allow flexibility and accessibility to inform, adapt, react, communicate, manipulate and control environments, whilst being sustainable and environmentally considered in application and context.Cybertecture embraces the future through continuous innovation and evolution of design and technology. It provides a myriad of solutions, all of which are diverse in individual application but holistic to the overall user environment, and always being integrated with innovation being pursued.

Optics Art Film
Optics è un film d’arte sperimentale di Maxim Zhestkov che esplora il comportamento della luce artificiale e del colore negli ambienti digitali. Mescolando lo spazio della galleria architettonica con sculture di vetro digitali generate al computer, incontriamo rifrazioni animate, aberrazioni cromatiche, riflessi colorati e altre condizioni che sono impossibili nella realtà. Una serie di prove ed esplorazioni ci guida attraverso diverse condizioni ottiche del luminoso e colorato universo digitale.

Tower
“Tower” ist kein schlechter Beitrag zum Genre. Sein drehmomentstarker Tunnelrahmen, der die starren Linien von Mies ‘Architektur den Drehungen und Wendungen unterwirft, die mit Richard Serra oder Vladimir Tatlin verbunden sind, zwingt zu einer genauen Beobachtung aus mehreren Blickwinkeln. Der Blick von seinen offenen, sich entwirrenden Enden ist besonders effektiv und führt zu einer Art Schwindel. Währenddessen sorgt Frau Sosnowskas Liebe zum Detail – sie hat Fenstergriffe eingebaut, obwohl kein Glas vorhanden ist – dafür, dass die Lyrik der skulpturalen Form dies nicht tut völlig ablenken vom unangenehmen Schauspiel eines umgestürzten Wohngebäudes. Das Verhältnis dieser monumentalen Skulptur zum Galerieraum ist jedoch etwas Seltsames; „Tower“ erinnert an die Träger oben und sitzt ehrerbietig in einer Ecke des riesigen Raums. Er verweist Sie bescheiden auf die umgebende Architektur, anstatt seine eigene Ästhetik der zerstörten Moderne zur Schau zu stellen.

beGrounded
beGrounded is a project that explores the relationship between humans and other living organisms, as an emotional and artistic act through textiles. It proposes an exploration of a new habitable space in the form of a woven garment with growing sprouts, as a sensorial and interactive experience.

Beethoven recomposed
Het audiovisuele project Beethoven hercomponeerde in opdracht van de Duitse omroep WDR is een unieke aanpak om de muziek van Ludwig van Beethoven tastbaar te maken voor mensen met en zonder gehoorbeperking. Om het hele publiek een klassiek concert met hun ogen te laten beleven, werd de symfonie vertaald in een visuele reis door drie generatieve werelden die de melodische beweging, het ritme en de stemmingswisselingen volgden. Deze visuals werden geprojecteerd op een groot monolithisch canvas dat boven het orkest hing. Aan elke kant van het canvas werden drie LED-strips toegevoegd om het toneellandschap te openen in de vorm van de orkestbak. Terwijl de projectie erop gericht was een samenhangend verhaal te vertellen en de verhalende en emotionele aspecten van de muziek weer te geven, werd de lagere resolutie en verschillende lichtintensiteit van de ledstrips gebruikt om de muziek op een nogal didactieve manier over te brengen.

Une autre générosité
Another Generosity explore une nouvelle structure qui consiste en une membrane contenant deux éléments de base: l’air et l’eau. Les structures simples sont combinées pour créer une structure cellulaire visible et dynamique. Les éléments gonflés servent d’intermédiaire entre l’environnement naturel et bâti. Ils répondent à des stimuli externes et parfois invisibles, créant un nouveau type d’expérience, une hésitation momentanée qui augmente notre conscience de notre environnement.

Vanitas Machine
The installation VANITAS MACHINE addresses the desire for eternal life and the potential of life-prolonging measures. Based on a candle which – by means of technical intervention – burns down very slowly, vanitas machine creates a contemporary analogy to the endeavour of prolonging the human lifespan with the help of science and technology.Being one of the classical vanitas symbols, a burning candle recalls the futility of the moment, the transience of human life and the certainty of the end of all existence. But is this end really still inevitable?In the course of the last two centuries, average human life expectancy has increased significantly in the industrialised countries. Moreover, in the context of scientific research the biological causes of ageing are being explored. Numerous theories of aging have already been developed pointing both towards physiological as well as environmental factors.One of the first theories of ageing was the so-called »metabolism theory«, which claims that the lifespan of organisms is reciprocally related to energy turnover and therefore connected to calorie intake, oxygen consumption and heart rate: The higher the metabolic rate, the shorter the lifespan of the organism.

Love Disorder
Love Disorder is a one-room interactive environment, in which a video character talks to visitors and responds emotionally to their movements in the space. When you enter, you see a twelve-foot-high face on a video screen at the far end of the room. The face says: “I’ve been waiting for you” – or one of several other greetings. He’ll continue talking to you if you don’t move, but the emotional tone of what he says will change as you step closer to the screen – or turn away. This manipulative character uses a gamut of emotional ploys to stimulate your movement within the space. He knows if you’re coming or going, and the range of his response is varied and complex enough that most people find themselves interacting, as if directly addressed.

NEVER AGAIN
Since the nineties, artist Monica Bonvicini has confronted audiences with drawings, installations, videos, and photographs that explore the construction of sexual identity through architecture. Her large-scale sculptural works provoke modernism with sheets of shattered glass and non-functional metal scaffolds and include feisty sexual references with strategic placement of riveted black leather.
