Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas) 2017 : midday - 2017
[perpetual digital simulation - video extract posted on Vimeo]
Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas) 2017 depicts the site of the 'Lucas Gusher' - the world's first major oil find - in Spindletop, Texas in 1901, now barren and exhausted. Gerrard has recreated the site as a digital simulation and placed at its centre a flagpole bearing a flag of perpetually-renewing pressurised black smoke [read more on Vimeo]

After almost three months of lockdown and restricted activities, we are recovering and starting economic activities in unlock 1.0. The infrastructure of everyday life needs to be re-examined. Train carriages, buses, aircraft cabins and car interiors will need to be redesigned to minimize the risk of transmission between passengers. Shops, schools…

Living In A Matrix
---In listening to Art Bell’s radio program from a day or so ago, he had a guest on who spoke of evidence for reality being a digital matrix. Of course, this is an idea being seriously contemplated within mainstream theoretical physics lately, and it has personally been a notion that’s fascinated both me and lots of other people ever since the movie “The Matrix” first came out. So, some of the more personally impressive evidence seemingly supporting this notion for me involves the structure of our reality. First and very important is how in quantum mechanics, the quantum nature of subatomic particles when they change states by jumping in a manner that contains no in-betweens does indeed seem more like a digital simulation than an analog representation of the particles that we perceive to exist as making up what comprises matter. Then of course there is also the glitches in reality that seem to occasionally pop up as though the simulation makes occasional mistakes, these of course being hinted at within “The Matrix” movie itself, such as perhaps deja vu or even odd things such as lots of people having memories of something that seems like it had once existed but now isn’t a part of our history, such as the death of a particular famous person long ago who is actually now still alive. And there are many such examples, with even I having experienced a lot of odd memories of various people I’ve heard about who have seemed to fit into this category. And I believe that there were other additional items of evidence as well mentioned within the program. But all in all, the one about the changing of quantum states being highly suggestive of a digital simulation is the main thing that was the most impressive for me at this time. In any case, it certainly is a fascinating concept.

Description: Microbial Ecologies (ME) is proposing a speculative scenario in which is able to explore new robotic fabrication processes as a framework for investigating the generation of (bio)artificial systems. These systems allow us to regenerate and protect the soil erosion and encourage healthy plant growth using interconnected 3D fiber systems. The research aims to explore a heterogeneity of fiber structures at a broad range of spatial scales. The heterogeneity and interconnectivity of the 3D fiber system within soil makes it a biodiverse microhabitat for the diverse microbial population and vegetal systems. The system that ME is proposing has a pivotal role in microbial interactions, therefore It is able to amplify the biodiversity of ecosystems. Microbial Ecologies focuses on the development of fiber structures to characterize soil at multiples scales that are relevant for micro organisms.

Description: The Reefs project fosters the creation of underwater sea barriers using D-Shape® technology through digitally simulated growth processes developed by Co-de-iT + disguincio.&co. It thrives on the potential that emerge from a coherent utilization of the environment’s inherent ecological structure for its own transformation and evolution, using an approach based on digitally simulated ecosystems and sparkled by the possibilities and potential of large-scale 3D printing technology. Considering tourism as an inevitable vector of environmental change, the project aims to direct its potential and economic resources towards a positive transformation, providing a material substrate for the human-marine ecosystem integration with the realization of spaces for an underwater sculpture exhibition. Such structures will also provide a pattern of cavities which, expanding the gradient of microenvironmental conditions, break the existing homogeneity in favor of systemic heterogeneity, providing the spatial and material preconditions for the re-population of marine biodiversity.
