SynopsisDer Atlas erforscht die Charakteristiken von Architektur, Medien und digitaler Infrastruktur. Anders ausgedrückt, handelt er von der Materialität von Gebäuden und der Immaterialität von Daten. Während die technischen und funktionalen Untersuchungen medialer Architektur dazu neigen, die Vielschichtigkeit der Phänomene zwischen abstrakter Virtualität und konkreter Realität zu verflachen, schlägt die Autorin spekulativ vier abstrakte Prismen vor: 1) AFFAIR WITH PHANTOMS - Wen wollen wir in einem digital vermittelten Raum antreffen und welche Art von Unterhaltung/Aktivitäten werden wir haben? 2) PARA-DESIRE - Wo leben unsere surrealen Wünsche und was sind die Strategien der Umsetzung? 3) MEDIATED SPACE CATALOGUE - Welche Daten, Informationen, Dinge, Räume und Orte stehen uns in der Welt zur Verfügung und wie überlagern wir sie durch unsere Aktivitäten? 4) GIFTS OF THE GARDENS - Wie kann eine Idee in die physische Realität eindringen und was sind die Pfade, auf welchen dies geschehen kann? Die Autorin untersucht dabei Bauten und Projekte von Toyo Ito, Werner Sobek, Philippe Rahm, Usman Haque, Electroland, Troika, NOX sowie Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Ben Rubin und Olafur Eliasson., The Atlas of Fantastic infrastructures deals with the characterization of architecture, media and digital infrastructure. In concrete terms, it deals with the materiality of buildings and the intangibility of data. While technical or functional studies often tend to "flatten" the multiplex phenomena, the author speculatively propose four abstract prisms: 1) AFFAIR WITH PHANTOMS - who do we want to meet in a digitally mediated space, and what kind of conversation/activity will we have?; 2) PARA-DESIRE - where do our surreal desires live, and what are their strategies?; 3) MEDIATED SPACE CATALOGUE - what kinds of data, information, things, spaces and places are available in the world, and how our activities blend them?; 4) GIFTS OF THE GARDENS - how can an idea enter physical reality, and what are the pathways of such becomings? The author examines buildings and projects by Toyo Ito, Philippe Rahm, Olafur Eliasson, Greg Lynn, MVRDV, Electroland, Troika, NOX, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and others.
