The program will adapt themes found in the expression and experience of the Mitaka Lofts, designed by Arakawa+Gins, to themes in artificial life and spatial simulation as found in robotics and science fiction.

The program will explore earthly reference frames for understanding the body in space. Inspired by the work of Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins, we consider the body as a part of its architectural surroundings. Interdisciplinary encounters will suggest shared reconfigurations of spatial and material form: embodiment that can be perceived, non-linear time at different scales and speeds, and ways to question and understand our own sentient volumes.
