disappearing architecture - from real to virtual to quantum

Thought

The space of all that information and words that are lost, compared to those that are stored.

In stored spaces, we have libraries and databases. But what of marginalia, and of text in the sand, of playground chalk, of cuts into tree bark.

Even further, what of edits to text? Think of your process of composing a message, or a post. How does this compare to all of human history, stored in mediums. Close your eyes, imagine writing the whispered name of someone you love but never know. An unwritten letter. When composing a message, deletions of text. None of this is recorded. It is lost. There definitely is a great mystery around every moment. We hold onto a fraction.

There is this vast underbelly of reality that is lost, and it is ghostly. You may know someone, never see them again and never know what they thought of you.

It has been made too easy to share and recieve. What about an instagram service of instead of posting, you place your photos in the hollow of a tree. Imagine you walk in the woods and you find someone you love there, investigating your spot? rel:Improvement to social media

The architectural space of accumulated books. All of these independent sellers tend to converge in aesthetic, but just by nature of the books. A stack of books is a stack of books, which becomes the space and the structure. The image of a room stuffed with books, small channels where humans can pass between. It is all the same.

blur it switzerland, an attempt at a formless building, a platform immersed in fog. With feature babble, a proximity based network with hookups to clothes, a raincoat that provides a6th sesnse and a social radar of anonymous intimacy. It is a raincoat, a synthetic skin. A “braincoat” - (I like the idea of walking, an like butterflies in the stomach, you encounter someone and there is a connection and it is like a butterfly under your shirt, thrumming and attempting to get out and connect). When close, the raincoats color, simulating a blush. there is also a personalized acoustic sound, that increases with proximity to a match, they can choose to either appraoch or track or hide from this match. In the case of a 100% affinity, a small vibrating pad is embedded in the pockets of the braincoat. The motors send vibrations to the coat, mimicking the tingle of excitement that comes with human contact. rel:Bird in my shirt
