Cyber Physical: Architecture in Real Time

 

The exhibition brings together, for the first time, the LightSeries ensemble — four dynamic installations that explore distinct aspects of cyber-physical architecture. Each one transforms the way we engage with architecture and space by creating environments that bring together tactile data, holographic narratives, and immersive soundscapes. LightScale II (2017) explores the interaction with spatial data while LightTank II (2018) merges digital and physical structures. LightWing II (2019) enables tangible navigation of digital space and the most recent work, LightSense (2022), delves into the intimate relationship between the user and an AI-integrated structure.

In captivating environments of light, sound and movement, Cyber Physical provokes new perspectives on the future of our built environment. Towards a prospect of an architecture that goes beyond functionality and aesthetics the exhibition unveils intimate, engaging and personalised experiences of space.

LightSeries was developed by Uwe Rieger and Yinan Liu at the arc/sec Lab for Cyber-Physical Design and Interactive Systems at the University of Auckland.
