In response to emerging electronic cultures which have become ubiquitous in the contemporary environment of social interactions, from the urban to the individual scale, this meeting between artists, software designers, architects and sound artists, examines different relationships between materiality as hardware and immateriality as software. The conversation will be based on a series of presentations of specific projects incorporating: art, media, sound and design. Further we will focus on topics where the various projects presented intersect, for instance: production, performance, authorship, atmospherics and on the notion of the prototype. The seminar is hosted by the research project Algorithmic Environments, which is run by the international architecture and design collaborative Servo, who has exhibited internationally as well as in Sweden.

Alghorithmic Environments: Ulrika Karlsson, SERVO and KTH, Stockholm, Marcelyn Gow, SERVO och ETH, Zürich, Jonas Runberger, SSARK and KTH, Pablo Miranda, Interactive Institute and KTH, Daniel Norell, David Erdman, SERVO and UCLA, Los Angeles, Chris Perry, SERVO and Columbia University, New York.

Los Angeles Islands is a practice based research project influenced by the visual culture. Investigating ‘architectural americanisms’ the project gathers seven architects and visual artists around a cross-reading of the cities of Los Angeles and Malmö. It takes its points of departure in two contemporary cultural phenomena: on one hand the americanisation of the Swedish urban landscape, and on the other the counter-cultures that follows from the first. At the seminar on Nov 17th the course Visual Culture - Reflective Architecture will be introduced.

Los Angeles Islands: Lars Henrik Ståhl, Nina Aronsen, Per-Johan Dahl, Sara Eriksson, Annelie Nilsson, Gunnar Sandin, Gunilla Svensson.

Architecture in Transformation gathers three architects, all practicing both as teachers and designers, to explore through architectural projects new ways of seeing and creating architecture from an existing, often highly complex, contaxt. Its focus is on drawing and modelling processes where architecture is in itself regarded both as a source of knowledge and as raw material.

Architecture in Transformation: Elizabeth Hatz, Susanna Bremberg, Katarina Lundeberg.
