This is an article I wrote for Ymag about the Venice Biennale in 2009.

The similarities between the Architecture and the Art Biennale in Venice are getting more and more evident, but this is not limited to aesthetic intersections like building deconstruction or the invasion of the white cube by contemporary art pieces. Visual artists and architects overlap not only in the public/exhibition space, but in their very design practice. (more…)

As promised, here's the second part of our interview to bestiario.org. These last questions touch the very sensible subject of geospatial web, one of the emerging technologies that are already changing (and are likely to change more) internet use for everybody.

What do you think is the correct balance between direct information and an imaginative visualization? Do you consider your work as closer to visual research, like generative art, or to conveying customized, intuitive information modeled on the reading user?

Different projects deserve different approaches. But there are two things we don´t want to create: aesthetic experiences that barely communicates an idea and analytic and cryptical tools that give computed answers. We believe in the power of human brain – and not only on its rational capacities – to understand and create. Our spaces should facilitate the brain's hard work giving it information and several ways to navigate it, display it and combine it. We strongly believe in intuition. Our spaces might give and experience to perception, analysis and intuition. Generative art is usually devoted to results instead of giving understanding of the processes. That´s why, although if we use some generative arts techniques, we are more close to "conveying customized, intuitive information modeled on the reading user". (more…)
