Manifesto for an Architecture of Atmospheres

Duration: 3:20 minutes
Materials: Digital sound work

Visions of the future are often expressed through visualisations of our built environment. Architecture makes these propositions in the temporary form of the pavilion and the written form of the manifesto. Gould uses sound and voice to build a temporary sonic space that explores an imaginary atmospheric architecture. It supposes a link between the breath of interior spaces and the atmosphere on a global exterior scale and an interconnectedness of human and environment.

River and Sky

Board 7, 2016-2017

Do parallel lines meet at infinity? The geometry says : no. In the projective space each line is circular rather than linear, it meets itself at infinity. So river and sky can never merge. Here, Board 7 is positioned in at the terrace of the building, facing the Danube Tower, parallel to the concrete structure that is thematized in Gould's sound installation. It is about education, ideal and simulation. One bow of the board is replaced by a implant, a prothesis that cannot reach the original's elegance.
