The exhibition was one of the cultural highlights of Barcelona’s expositions circuits in the summer of 2018: “Auto-màtic“. Curated by Edouard Cabay, IAAC’s faculty member and director of the 3DPA applied research programme. The research on display aimed to show the limits and potentials of generative drawing, emerging from data through mathematical and mechanical operations; raising questions on automation, reproducibility, and the role of the arbitrary or accidents as sources of creative experimentation.
The research was developed in the framework of Machinic Protocols, a research line of IAAC’s Master in Advanced Architecture.
