Architecture as an environmental, spatial measuring machine Architecture is an intelligent corpus, a reflection of the environment surrounding itself. The information technology of Corpora in Si(gh)te by doubleNegative Architecture has maintained the mutality between architecture and environment in a virtual way through continuous spatial measurements, reflecting what C.i.S architecture believes to be the core principle of architecture.
Zacharias Kunuk, one of the world's most widely respected aboriginal filmmakers (Atanarjuat - The Fast
Runner, Golden Camera at Cannes, 2001), was nine years old when his family gave up their nomadic lifestyle
and settled in the new government town of Igloolik, Nunavut. As a co-founder and creative member of the
Igloolik Isuma Productions team, he produced films that preserve the Inuit oral culture and bring Arctic life to the world. At the transmediale.09 Marshall McLuhan Lecture, Kunuk and his colleague, Norman Cohn, will talk about the importance of access to, and use of, new media for contemporary Inuit culture.
The Collegium Hungaricum Berlin aims to presents a modern and European picture of Hungary, expanding
and deepening cultural and scientific collaborations. It becomes the physical host for the 'Corpora', a cellular, fluid and generative architectural organism created by the transnational art and design group doubleNegatives Architecture (dNA). A meshed network structure of urban sensors and cameras monitoring, collecting and distributing real-time environmental information including temperature, brightness, humidity, wind direction and sound feeds a system of nodes, each making local decisions independent of a central architect. An intelligent corpus augmenting the reality of the .CHB's urban environment, Corpora in Si(gh)te gives rise to a new architectonic and artistic entity.
The gallery [DAM]Berlin is part of an overall concept in the field of Digital Art. Since 2003 its gallery has
