Alex Schweder: Roomograph (2011)
Art Installation by Alex Schweder
The idea for the piece came to Schweder while visiting the site ahead of the Biennale in Denver, where he was tasked with reinventing one of their parking lots. "I couldn’t change the parking lots themselves, but I could drive something in and radically change that space," he says. Denver wanted to get rid of big asphalt parking lots like that one, and developers were getting permits to develop them into hotels. "I thought why don’t they just practice that first," says Schweder. "Test that out."

Location: Omi International Arts Center in Ghent, New York, USA
ReActor is the newest work in an experimental, performative series of "social relationship architecture" designed and built by internationally renowned architect-artist duo Alex Schweder + Ward Shelley. Located in Architecture Omi's Field 01, ReActor is a habitable sculpture, where Schweder + Shelley will live in full view of Omi's audience. The 44-foot by 8-foot structure rotates 360-degrees atop a 15-foot concrete column in response to its inhabitants' movements, exterior forces, and interior conditions, making visible the intimate relationship between architecture and its inhabitants. ReActor is part of the 2016-17 Architecture Omi exhibition.
