ORTLOS space engineering has been invited to lead a design laboratory at the "small unsuspicious academy of subversion"
in the frame of SENSE OF ARCHITECTURE at the 11th international architecture exhibition La Biennale di Venezia.
"Sensitive Space, 7/24" within "Sense of Architecture" is an experimental lab with a trans-disciplinary team dealing with the relationship between architecture and program.
With the technological progress of 21st century we finally have the option, actual infinitive potentialities, to achieve an "on-demand" behaviour of space within networked augmented reality. All acting areas of "sensitive space", including production, social communication, data flow and soundscape, can be unified into a single continuum. Processing and performance of this "sensitive space" will be presented within a temporary installation, on which the team will work 7 days and nights - 24 hours long (7/24), mapped and navigated by networked sound nodes distributed through several city locations, creating "a geo-tagged cloud" of visual and acoustic information-space.
There will be update daily and more info here.
Team:
Processing: ORTLOS space engineering with composer Beat Furrer [A] and students of Graz University of Technology.

Temporary shops - Fashion show - Exhibitions - Workshops - Installations - Performances - Concerts - Parties. Designzone Annenstra?e, Graz
Fashion Design ? Product Design ? Graphic Design ? Architecture - Art.
Our proposal for Graz 8020 - the implementation of a Boulevard of Production in Annenstrasse ? is a magnet, an attractor, a formula. Looking back, catapulting ahead, it is a real innovation, because astoundingly simple: plug in & play. Nothing new really ? Golem Reloaded. A result of our three-year research.

Conference Concept
City Upgrade ? the High-spirited Networked City
"If talent magnet developments can get the formula right, they will probably become key to urban competitiveness in the twenty-first century". _William J. Mitchell
A hard fact to start with: Our society is going through a transition that is crazier and riskier than ever. It is partly a result of globalization, partly of the Digital Revolution and the information-based economy it has spawned. By freeing us from physical boundaries and physical assets, it has made us both more flexible and more vulnerable to competitors of all kinds. And: It forces us to radically rethink just how long not only business companies, but well-established institutions and even cities too, can survive and thrive.
In today's fast-moving, transnational reality, which can best be characterized as a turbulent maelstrom of ceaseless innovation and change, i.e. uncertain and volatile, European cities, regardless of their ranking, need to act like businesses, i.e. as competitors struggling to attract talents from all over the world ? the hottest ingredient of economic success in the near future, uncertain and volatile, too.
To succeed in this struggle, new socio-spatial configurations are required ? vibrant agonistic public spheres (Ch. Mouffe) ? in which technology, economic and institutional organizations, social relationships, and spatial structures are very closely intertwined, thus enabling all kinds of possibilities for expanding individual opportunity, transforming the structure of work, and creating the future of Europe on its way from the background-based world to the talent-based and performance-based world of universal urbanism. A necessary prerequisite for this is a new dynamic concept of space that is enhanced by dimensions immateriality and nonlocation (P. Weibel), thus propelling emergence of the new (innovation, change) in an unprecedented way. Keyword: Imagination Economy ? the future of Europe.
And it is this scrutinizing of the empowering potential of such new socio-spatial configurations, enhanced by dimensions immateriality and nonlocation, that is the formidable challenge of the conference City Upgrade ? the High-spirited Networked City, based on the principle of shared research interests. Experts from internationally renowned scientific institutions, research labs and architectural studios will help us get results and, in doing so, come closer in making our vision of Boulevard of Production in Graz 8020 come true.
Focused, well-designed, fast-paced, and free of charge, the conference will also feature a very special guest ? Miss Folly ? performing the introductory story.

In the framework of the exhibition "Sense of Architecture", a discussion with the topic "Art and architectural sculptural tendencies and productive ambiguities" has been initiated by the Architecture Laboratory Styria.
At Deutsches Architektur Zentrum, Berlin, on 10th of January, 19:00, a dialog between ORTLOS architects and International Festival, among others, will be open to the public, with the topic: "Performative strategies for the space production".
Here is a short description in German:
"Bewusst angelegte Offenheit und Unbestimmtheit sind auch f?r die Arbeitsweise des Architekturb?ros ORTLOS bestimmende Parameter. Im Rahmen des Architekturdialoges werden Andrea Redi und Ivan Redi ?ber die performativen Strategien zur Raumproduktion von ORTLOS architects sprechen und speziell anhand der j?ngsten Projekte "City Upgrade", ?The Theatre? und ?Choreographers' Venture? im Dialog mit dem international bekannten schwedischen Performer, Choreographen und Theoretiker Marten Spangberg, und dem schwedischen Architekten Tor Lindstrand von International Festival, eine neue Orientierung am K?rper und Raumbegriff ausloten."
