ARCHIVE MACHINES: Attention Environment#1​
ARCHIVE MACHINES Exhibition at LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL ART GALLERY, CA.
​
The project is part of ongoing research of the Anthropocene, with its materiality presented in junk, ‘abjected’ societal produce, abandoned pieces and found objects that were once made and experienced by people. These artifacts, sourced from the streets, thrift stores and junkyards become descriptive elements – ‘sounding’ micro-models of the world. In this sense, sculptures create a peculiar archive of the current time and people. Hybrid sculptures are context and time-specific pieces that get explored through the resonant feedback of materials and parts.

Scratching the (sur)face of the Anthropocene
Sound, video and sculpture piece for UCLA's academic publication "POOL".
Weaving together these threads of architectural practice as an apparatus to address our temporal position in the world, alongside the media-specific relationship of architecture and experience, this project simulates the new, multilayered materiality of an architectural Masque in the age of the Anthropocene. In the new model, the material surface of a totemic object becomes a multi-sensory experience that occupies both physical and virtual domains. The project is a simulation of new materiality, where waste objects overwhelm in both digital and physical domains.

Ordinary Hybrid Can Scream
​
These Hybrids are a combination of designed (cast models and designed objects) and found objects (produced for mass consumption and found in natural environment) and they can "scream".
This research is part of our ongoing exploration of materials/ textures/ form +/= experiments with sound/ improvisation. It is also an open-ended study overall and process driven exploration of resonant feedback of material(s) here, in particular.
