Thom Mayne [Morphosis] - Tsunami




Climatic uncertainties, edge instability between dryness and moistness, toxic and epidemic effusions, ecosystem and bio-diversity depletions, lethal ignitions, migratory or hemorrhagic flux, geopolitical collapses or democratic failures, many tumultuous questions impregnate the Planetary Visions and the outlines of our future Earth-scale dwelling.



Teiji Furuhashi + Shiro Takatani [dumb type] - Love/Sex/Death/Money/Love
(video installation)



The emergence of new algorithmic or virtual spaces may inflect the evolutive trajectory of the inhabiting tissues which have to be initiated.
To which incorporation of the reality are they leading ? How many faillures, how many ethical ruins for these hegemonic or military territories emerging from the paradigm of video-games or leisure simulations ?

What will be the shape or even the meaning of cities emerging from the bio-organic civilization and technologies to which we are stepping into? How to define the shift leading to nonlinear, unsettled, fluctuating and metabolic basis for architecture ?



Adrien Sina - Organic Transitions
(video installation)


How to unfold a theoretical purpose on inaccessible, siteless or virtual spaces which will broaden the human habitat to impalpable and extreme territories towards the efflorescence of artificial or simulated life and intelligence?

Hybrid tissues of diffuse and metabolic interactions, symbiosis between all living communities, from the animal to the viral, from the bacterial to the bio-chemical, are forgotten questions through architectural or urban processes, even though they remodel the planetary balances that the future human inhabiting and survival will inherit.




Kengo Kuma - Automatic Rock Gardener
(robots)


After millenaries of evolutive or social selection, the body, the whole life set balances and the human individual remain the most fragilised issues, the most threatened, violented, face to the structural parameters of a technological environment which call them in question.



ORLAN - mesuRages d'institutions
Actions Orlan-Corps
(video installation- performance)



The search for new adaptive processes able to reply to the collisions between the multi-fold layers of the reality still remains a question of ethical emergency. A morphogenetic matrix is hence initiated for unsettled complexities, turbulent textures and fugitive fluctuations.



Ryu Niimi - Daughters of the Future



The exhibition presents interfaces between video-installation, choreography, architecture, urban performances, photography and philosophy. It will be presented as well, through an evolutive manner, in Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
