Eyebeam

"We are thrilled to have been selected. The Eyebeam project is at the intersection of our passions, architecture and new media art. The great challenge ahead is to reconcile their discrepancy in speed: architecture is permanent by nature and new media is transient by definition. We will have to invent the map as we navigate it."

EYEBEAM MUSEUM OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY - CHELSEA NEW YORK
DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO ARCHITECTS
2001 - 60,000,000 DOLLARS (CONSTRUÇÃO SUSPENSA/SUSPENDED)


The Eyebeam facility in Chelsea will be the city's first institution dedicated exclusively to new media art and the largest institution of its kind in the United States, housing an exhibition space, artist-in-residence studios, an education center with multi-media classrooms, a state-of-the art new media theater, a digital archive, a restaurant, and a bookstore. It will be dedicated to exploring - through the vehicle of new technologies - the connection between science and art. The structure will be approximately 90,000 square feet, rising from a 15,000 square-foot site.

The spatial logic of the proposed building is based on a simple premise: a pliable ribbon that locates production (atelier) to one side and presentation (museum/theater) to the other. This ribbon undulates from side to side as it climbs vertically from the street. The floor becomes wall, turns into floor, turns into wall, etc. With each change of direction, the ribbon enfolds a production space or a presentation space, alternately. The combing of programs also combs together two diverse populations: the building's residents (students, artists, and staff) and the building's visitors (museum and theatergoers). The alternating programs require each population to pass through the space of the other while moving between successive levels.

A Museologia de Poulot


Tenho vindo a caçar fantasmas,
eu não gosto
Cá de longe a espreitar na torre, a respirar o ar,

eu volto

Eu estava contigo em Paris
No café, na esplanada, a tragar a bebida

A matar o tempo como podia
A ler a museologia de Poulot todo o dia.





E pensava em mim
E pensava sobre o que é meu
A viver a minha vida como um snob dormente

E mesmo assim,

a morrer todos os dias na linha da frente.

Biogram

A minha foto
Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal
Anthropologist, museum and art curator, started in 2006 a long-term visual conceptual project: a work in progress that includes single-channel video, film, explorations of archive footage, experimental movies and conceptual photography. The art project materializes visual experiences involving original footage or the re-treatment of moving images and also the use of soundscapes. Basically, the conceptual outline goes from the political visual essay (violence in history) to a deeper more introspective way, like expressing the Freudian psychoanalysis or going into Nietzsche’s philosophy. Aesthetically is inspired in two close-related modern and post-modern movements: surrealism (language) and pop art (technique). It is also assumed a strong link – formal and informal – to the history of cinema.
