Infinity Room

Type: Presentation

Description:
Refik Anadol is a media artist, director, and pioneer in the aesthetics of machine intelligence. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California, where he owns and operates Refik Anadol Studio and RAS LAB, the Studio’s research practice centered around discovering and developing new approaches to data narratives and artificial intelligence.

Anadol’s body of work addresses the challenges, and the possibilities, that ubiquitous computing has imposed on humanity. His artwork explores how the perception and experience of time and space are radically changing with machines dominating our everyday lives. Anadol is intrigued by how the digital age and machine intelligence allow for a new aesthetic language to create enriched environments that offer a dynamic perception of space.

Located within what was once a boiler for the former Shaw Lane Power Plant, this Infinity Room translates real time power consumption date from the on-campus T.B. Simon Power Plant into an immersive art experience by using machine learning algorithms. The rate of movement is controlled by overall power use. The density of the patterning is influenced by the number of different consumers of the power supply, primarily lighting, HVAC, and office equipment.
