Entangled Agencies in Computationally-Enhanced Ecologies
A conceptual thread that this paper explores is the levels of agency that are noted, as computational intelligences inhabit architecture as organisms with their own evolutionary motivations and survival strategies. This shift, from computation housed within buildings to computation that
Emerging Technologies & Computational Arts
Produced in Fall 2025, this booklet presents a research investigation into ten emerging technological paradigms and examines their implications for social structures and artistic practice. The publication brings together conceptual analysis, case studies, and visual references to explore how developments
Synthetic Gods & the Architecture of Divergence
In 1882, Nietzsche declared that “God is dead,” a statement that captured how modernity had begun to reject traditional structures of belief and move toward a new order, one in which the human emerged as the sole creator and author
Ubiquitous Colonies
Certain colonial organisms tend to establish control in environments that provide attractive qualities, such as plentiful nutrition, rich stimuli, and risk-free surroundings, and to extend their bodies and functions to their maximum capacity with an ultimate goal to survive and
