'Cyber Physical: Architecture in Real Time' presents four monumental, dynamic and immersive installations that transform our relationship to physical or digital spaces. Enhanced by interactive technologies, artificial intelligence and 3D projections, they envision hybrid architectures that dynamically transform and adapt based on human engagement.
The exhibition brings together, for the first time, the LightSeries ensemble — four dynamic installations that explore distinct aspects of cyber-physical architecture. Each one transforms the way we engage with architecture and space by creating environments that bring together tactile data, holographic narratives, and immersive soundscapes. LightScale II (2017) explores the interaction with spatial data while LightTank II (2018) merges digital and physical structures. LightWing II(2019) enables tangible navigation of digital space and the most recent work, LightSense (2022), delves into the intimate relationship between the user and an AI-integrated structure.
In captivating environments of light, sound and movement, Cyber Physicalprovokes new perspectives on the future of our built environment. Towards a prospect of an architecture that goes beyond functionality and aesthetics the exhibition unveils intimate, engaging and personalised experiences of space.
LightSeries was developed by Uwe Rieger and Yinan Liu at the arc/sec Lab for Cyber-Physical Design and Interactive Systems at the University of Auckland.
