Chambers is an open-ended research project that explores room-scale xenoaesthetics.
Chamber 09
From the Greek xeno, “foreign,” the one-off spatial prototypes speculate on the commingling of biological, artificial, and algorithmic actants. Xenoaesthetics is a cognitive regime that, through the crossbreeding of heterogeneous agents in diverse states of being—different formats, orders, and natures—blurs the rational categories of making and reception and, consequently, their associated production and value system.

CHAMBER 04
Under this umbrella, Chambers seeks the here-called opaque-productive space. Opacity means something that resists full comprehension and, thus, empowers curiosity. On the other hand, productivity means the unveiling of the intrinsic affordances of space, that is, the inherent uses, unplanned behaviors, and emotions.
