Lucid: The Unreality of Seeing

Iris van Herpen and Philip Beesley continued their longstanding collaboration for the Lucid collection, presented in Paris on March 8th, 2016.

Astrocyte

Toronto’s expo for design, innovation and technology (EDIT 2017) is a 10 day festival produced by design exchange. The Living Architecture Systems Group (LASG) collaborated with artists, scientists, designers, and engineers to create astrocyte, an empathetic soundspace that feels and speaks with its viewers.

Sentient Veil

Sentient Veil is a jewel-like canopy containing multiple miniature sound processors interwoven with hundreds of digitally controlled lights installed within the historic galleries of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Living Architecture Systems

The close connection between living nature and architecture is a persistent and enduring theme across cultures. In the west it has come to be called Organicism. The Living Architecture Systems exhibited ongoing research on “living architecture” by the Living Architecture Systems Group.

Ocean

Ocean makes a turbulent environment that transforms the rotunda of Toronto’s City Hall. A constantly-changing canopy of recycled textiles evokes vast, unstable forces, where brilliant bursts of light alternate with dark, surging movements and intense waves of immersive sound.
