Seemingly a sleeping Head who finds unusual places to invade them and to settle down, grows in space, consuming everything that It considers valuable.
The project Wide Thinker an ongoing research in field
of neo — vernacular architecture in VR, posing questions
the place’s ability to accomodate multiple fuctionalities
and worlds within, not preplanned by architect from
the beginning. It is a site-specific installation, which embraces
the features of a current state of a building or an interior.
The living, briefing creature is an embodiment of a site’s actors/history and any other feature of the present space
in given time span. It connects, merges, dissolve
all the elements of a site, exploring fragility of a moment,
of a place, creates a new location within existing location.
It’s virtual existence stays as long as the technology which
it’s represented in will stay alive, showing the contrast
of a place once existed, versus the place it will become
in certain point in time.
