Architects have always explored artistic expressions of new technology, and through these experiments the spaces of our future are conceived. Hybrid Realities: Sensing Space in the Modern World is an exhibition that examines how architecture can draw from the emergence of digital life, and reevaluates how we sense and engage with the environment around us.

The exhibition is organized around three main ideas: Emergence, Anti-Gravity, and Multiplicity. Emergence inquires: How can communication and interaction be translated to physical space?; Anti-Gravity inquires: How can seamless and scaleless digital experiences be translated into physical space?; Multiplicity inquires: How can digital and environmental datasets be meaningfully translated into physical space?

The exhibition includes works by Asli TusavulBart//BratkeDaina SwagertyInstitute for Computational DesignJulio BarrenoOp-Al, and Sho / Ultra Low Res.

Organized and curated by the AIA|DC Technology Committee in cooperation with AIA|DC for the SIGAL Gallery.
