A Taxonomy of Liquid Space

This site develops some of the issues presented in the earlier web-lectures by drawing up a 'taxonomy' of liquid space. The spaces in this list follow the cycle described in figure 1 below, a movement from archi-typal spaces to virtual spaces.

The models presented here include:


1 Narrative Space: The Spectactor Project.
2 Leaks: Laurie Anderson meets William Buroughs, and Kurt Vonnegut meets Kilgore Trout.
3 As We May Think: Vanevar Bush.
4 Untitled: Rachel Whitread , Untitled (House) 1993.
5 5 + & - Space: Negative Space.
6 Mind the Gap: The Space Vetween.
7 Light Modulator: Reflected Space, Moholy Nagy.
8 Shadow Space: by Andy Beer.

Each section is illustrated, discussed and extended on the pages linked from the menu above. The web-cast will provide a narration as you progress through the site. These sections are in no way conclusive, the examples provided are simply starting points for further development and exploration, and provide a useful linking narrative and progression.
