The image stack is a volume of space-time that projects the image and representation itself into a fourth temporal dimension. This means the image can now represent the movement embedded in a space-time volume. It also means that the architectural drawing, as a spatial projection, changes from a static representation of a single moment into one that embeds all the properties: movement, colour, and shapes within a defined space across a given period.
The exhibition draws on video footage of large-scale urban domains captured from public webcams situated in diverse locations across the planet. On a smaller scale, it also draws on interior footage captured in Le Corbusier’s Villa la Roche in Paris and Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI Museum in Rome. Both architects sought to embed experiential movement in the structure and materiality of their buildings.
The captured footage is then ‘reprocessed’ through medical imaging software, which traditionally looks for progression or change in image content over time. These new spatial ‘mappings’ challenge the static representation of space and form seen in the traditional architectural drawing and instead present new counterparts of the plan, elevation and section of the new digital city.
