[Ay]Architecture. Kokkugia. Tom Wiscombe. Apo Mechanes. Emergen[cy] Designed and Built by Luis Quinones USA | Griffin Frazen USA Standing installation | plywood | 550cm x 130cm x 220cm | white 18m2 plywood 8mm, 6kgr paint | 210 components | 2 pieces + 2 connectors per component + incorporated connections. Apo Mechanes [2009] : Ezio Blasetti, Dave Pigram, Roland Snooks, Ioulietta Zindrou BIOS Athens centre for today's art and cross media, Athens | Greece Emergen[cy] was created to further study algorithmic and parametric design processes as means for design and fabrication.
The installation focuses on emergent behavior by means of exploring local interactions between components which give rise to emerging structures. Our aims were to develop two independent systems [tensegrity] [aggregation] by means of recursive and conditional code to explore potential interaction[s] once the systems merge.
