F.lux: software to make your life better
La Contessa , Hotel Room (1931) by Edward Hopper. -via...
Bieke Depoorter, Belgium
‘For three periods of one month, I have let the Trans-Siberian train guide me alongside forgotten villages, from living room to living room. Some Russian words scribbled on a little piece of paper allowed me to be welcomed and absorbed in the warm chaos of a family. Accidental encounters led me to the places where I could sleep. The living room, the epicentre of their life, establishes an intimate contact between the Russian inhabitants. In this room, they sleep, eat and drink, as well as cry. For a brief moment, I was part of this. Their couch became my bed for one night. This way, I experienced transient, but very powerful, shared moments. We communicated without words. We understood each other somehow’.

The Universe house by Tatiana Bilbao | Architecture Lab
“A Beach house designed by Tatiana Bilbao for the artist Gabriel Orozco’s family. The house, which has a round pool on the roof, was organized around the conceit of camping. Like a tent, you must exit each room to the exterior in order to get to another room, such as the toilet or kitchen. “For Gabriel, it was not architecture; it’s more of a living sculpture,” Bilbao says, noting that she collaborated with Orozco on realizing the artist’s initial design.” Architectural Record
Terre Natale (Exits 2) | Stewdio
Terre Natale (Exits 2) is a half-hour immersive visualization of human migration data.
Visitors enter a dark rotunda to discover a mirror-image Earth revolving around the room, printing animated maps and data to the wall's curved surface. Divided into five narratives, this piece quantifies both voluntary and forced movement across the globe due to political, economic, and environmental factors.
