Minimaforms

Ten years from our first public installation of our Petting Zoo work at the FracCentre Val de Loire ArchiLab exhibition, we share our work with the Brazilian community in an attempt to participate in the somewhat limited discussion these days on the subjects of AI and creativity, AI in art and architecture. Expanding the scope beyond text prompts, GANs and curating databases is not only necessary but should speak to what motivates and humanises these technologies.

Minimaforms' pioneering AI emotive artwork Petting Zoo opens to the public as part of Nova Bienal Rio De Arte E Tecnologia at the Museum of Tomorrow. Exhibiting artists include Theo Jansen, Numen / For Use, Memo Akten among others.

Nova Rio Biennial of Art and Technology September 20th - October 29th, at the Museu do Amanhã.

An interview with Stephen and me titled "All Is In the Now" is published today giving insight into some of the motivations behind The Order of Time.
"The only certainty is uncertainty and this speaks to the need to challenge the orthodoxies of discourse and design."

All is in the now – KoozArch A conversation with Minimaforms on The Order of Time, currently on view at the AA Gallery.

A great pleasure on this occasion to be in conversation with Ariane Koek at the concluding public event of our exhibition "The Order of Time". Thematic ranged from our early work, art/science collaborations, physics, and the necessity to create new spaces that challenge the orthodoxies of the time.

Stephen & I want to thank Ariane for the generous deep dive into our work since Becoming Animal (2007).

Theo gives the opening keynote address at the University of Patras, Greece as part of the FILARCH 2023 symposium. The symposium engages the subjects of philosophy and architecture.

There is no future or past; everything remains always in the present. The Order of Time by Minimaforms | The Strength of Architecture | From 1998

For those that may find themselves in London our Minimaforms exhibition, The Order of Time opens to the public and is on view at the Architectural Association Gallery. A work that connects many of our preoccupations with physics, art and architecture.
Carlo Rovelli reminds us that in physics, there is no future or past; everything understood remains in the ever-present. The Order of Time speaks to this understanding of time(s) as something situated and relational, examining world-building at infinite resolutions from the subatomic to the cosmological. The exhibition includes a conversation between Carlo and myself, drawings, films, and a series of generative studies that further expand on the installation.
