L.A.W.u.N Projects


The Invisible University, a collaboration between the EXP/University of Westminister and the Architectureal Association, speculates on the 'dis-urban': new effects on the post-print, post-digital landscape at a local and global level.
The photo above explores the architecture of the 'New Nature'. The pastoral scene belongs to a series of adjusted photographs that take the atmospheric effects associated with the Invisible University and bring them to an out-into-the-open spatial ambience. For the nomad in the foreground there is neither initerior nor exterior: clothed in electro-social camouflage she dissolves inot the ravine, gazing into its luminous, mist air while learning the line and musing on the unique phenomena of distance versus memory. Who knew that wet-look, high-tech, liquid-crystal filaments would find a soul amte in a constellation of knitted stretch jersey, constricting and expanding with each movement faster and everywhere, closer to the sky and further from the ground, save for a shadow flung by a passing cloud.
