HYPERDIMENSIONAL DESIGN

VIRTUAL REALITY AND POST ARCHITECTURE

It’s not about designing space. It’s about designing people through space. — It is hard to find VR content that doesn’t derive at least some of its value from the technological novelty that the medium represents. The so-called “gimmick” value still stops us from perfecting a form of expression that is truly native to the medium. It’s time to change that. VR is not film. VR is not theatre. VR is not architecture. VR is VR.

NEW MEDIA SPACES, DREAMSCAPES AND MAGICK

Who hasn’t fallen in love with an idea? Better yet, who hasn’t fallen in love with a fictitious scenario, whose dynamics and interactions happened nowhere except in our (body)minds?
