BIO DATA MATTER for @labiennale Here's a taste of our work-in-progress for our BIO DATA MATTER project at @we_designs_llc. In the future of urban living, as citizens of global cities, and the circular economy, we often-overlook the sources of the micro-biotic and digitally data embedded lives we live in. The future of cities is now; and the people powering that future live and work in cities, bringing their energy and ideas to bear on the unique challenges and opportunities of urban life. Our design objects are a means to represent bio-data regarded matter within simple geometric vitrines, which contain vital bio-matter and bio-data about New York City. Through using bio-degradable materials and organic matter in the process of making, such as bacteria formed from mycelium, water tested e-coli, and glycerin embedded air particles, these objects use data sourced from the five boroughs of New York City represented as 3D visualized information, through digital fabrication methods. Each individual design object is carefully curated with active biomatter embedded with data that represents New York City, to critically provoke a dialogue between the microscopic biological and digital data embedded lives we live in. Our research and design work on the series, Bio Data x Matter, will be part of the collateral exhibitions at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition, as part of La Biennale di Venezia, Architecttura 2018. https://vimeo.com/wedesigns/biodatamatter 16th International Architecture Venice Biennale GGA Foundation – EUROPEAN CULTURAL CENTRE May 26th to November 25th 2018 Palazzo Bembo, Venice, Italy Design Lead Wendy W Fok WE-DESIGNS Video Edith Eugene Ong @eugeneOBJ Team Camila Varon Jaramilo Eugene Ong Logan Larkin WE-DESIGNS™ provides creative strategy for the built environment.
