Project:
Gaps, Cracks, Breaks
Brokenness, cracks, gaps tell more about agency than what seems to be the current. Departing from Steven Jackson's broken world theory, and the lidar landscape models I have been producing for the landscape design studio I teach at Hong Kong University, I want to research how different scanning and modelling tools and softwares approach the cracks, gaps, and breaks in a certain space that they need to reproduce. Thinking this way, I want to understand how the logic of the software operates with infill, and I want to speculate on it further. The research addresses both representational and performative space.
