Movements such as Occupy, the Indignados, the Arab Spring, and the Ferguson riots have rendered
visible a deep change in the very idea of public space and how it has been expanded by means of
technology and its immaterial bounds. Actions that could once be suppressed or ignored, in the
spirit of the “silent majority”, can now be compounded, amplified, and echoed exponentially in both
physical and digital space, with distant observers and commentators acting as both part of the
fabric of public demonstration and the hinge upon which it may succeed or fail. But how does
architecture face this new and at times uncontrollable potentiality? In a society where
representation is no longer based only on physicality, what happens to architecture and how should
it respond? How is architectural practice mutating amidst these external pressures and continual
changes?
In this event the algorithmic publishing device was coupled with live connection to the
holographic video art work help me obi by the Scotland-based artists Helson & Jackets.
