...is a research on dynamic spaces created by temperature and light within, around and through the citie`s architecture, exemplified at the Tschumi Pavilion. Fog machines controlled by light sensors, which are attached to the building,and video projections are used as a research tool.At the Pavilion the open edges and the floor-mesh cause an osmotic, invisible exchange between the building and its surrounding. The fog coming out of the machines generates a dynamic, cloudy field, in accordance to the actual distribution of light in the pavilion.
During the day the several alterations of light and temperature produce a continuous
flux of movement. After sunset, the light of the projectors flows through the architecture, densifying the pavilions transparent structure. The projection shows geometric shapes in motion based on simulation of the suns daily movement around the pavilion. It is a patchwork of different perspectives of the architecture projected onto itself, representing the pavilion as a construction of temporalities. As the simulated sun moves, the light-beams unfold in the fog, and out of multiple perspectives onto the pavilions structure the projected patterns emerge. The motion of the light emphasises the dynamic structure of the pavilion and generates immaterial architectonic forms and spectral areas of fog and light.

...is part of the exhibition-cycle Hybrid Space at Tschumi at the glass pavillion by Bernard Tschumi in the center of Groningen (NL) from 06/09 - 18/09/2008.
