FUTURE CITIES LAB - Vivisys

November 2007 - February 2008
 

The Vivisys installation is an experimental double-curved lattice vault that plays host to an extraordinary cluster of rapidly prototyped aluminum and acrylic barnacles. Three-dimensional auroras of blue electron emitting cold cathode tubes respond to interactions from their environment. Vivisys synthesizes patterns of the organic and the manufactured into a new creative paradigm for energy, form and matter.

Future Cities Lab is an experimental design studio and research lab. It was founded by architects Jason Johnson and Nataly Gattegno in 2001 to explore new spatial, material and organizational protocols brought forth by the rapid release of computational logics into the physical realm. Their recent work has investigated this convergence within the overlapping territories of architecture, landscape urbanism, ecology and robotics.
