Artificial Realities
Artificial Realities is framed by the confrontation between rationality and efficiency related to virtual technologies applied to the architectural design process, in an era when the technological side of virtual reality has evolved rapidly but the aesthetic side of the medium has remained in a nascent stage. Can contemplation be rational? Can the aesthetic be efficient and the immediate be mental? It aims to trigger a reflection on these seemingly antagonistic concepts and explore the ways in which virtual reality technologies can enable designers to create immersive expressive experiences.
