Programme
Pavilion B

Cyber Physical: Architecture in Real Time
Cyber Physical brings together four dynamic and immersive installations that reshape our perception of physical and digital spaces. Thanks to 3D projection, augmented reality or artificial intelligence, the public interacts with ever-evolving structures capable of listening, learning and reshaping themselves in real time.

When Whales Had Legs
Izabela Orzełowska & Gonzague Rebetez
In dialogue with the whale inspired structure, a human body navigates the evolutionary path of the nautical mammal. From sea to land and back again, this millennia-long tale unfolds between the first steps of a fish, to the moment when legs return to fins. An invitation to a reflection on the relationship between environments and life – How to evolve in the Cyber-Physical?
