A Collaborative Factory of Art
Tutor // Dr Louis Rice
2018 MArch Year Two Project
The University of the West of England
The proposal seeks to accommodate these new creative Artificial Intelligence technologies in collaboration with an educational institute to provide a platform for the next generation of artists. The building will offer a new educational space that integrates digital skills in a creative domain. The facility that will focus on delivering flexible, permissive and supportive learning environments that enable the research, education and integration of Artificial Intelligence, Art, and Digital Skills.
The two components of this project are the specialised technical spaces that enable the production of art, and the human-centric social operations focused on developing a new facility where users want to inhabit.
The production of art within the building has a primary focus on the digital space, traditionally viewed through screens or printed on a canvas as a static snapshot of the work. However, virtual reality and augmented reality have enabled a more dynamic and interactive method of viewing this work; students would be encouraged to exhibit their art throughout the building using QR codes that can allow interaction with through your phone for a personal and connected experience.
