Public Experiment: Models are Real September 28, 2007

Participants include: Olafur Eliasson, Eric Ellingsen, Yona Friedman, Jeroen Jacobs, Andreas & Ilka Ruby and Matt Willard

'Every model shows a different degree of representation, but all are real. We need to acknowledge that all spaces are steeped in political and individual intentions, power relations and desires that function as models of engagement with the world. No space is model-free.’
Olafur Eliasson

This event investigates how we individually and collectively model and remodel our surroundings. The focus will be ‘the production of reality’, as architects, scientists and artists devise and perform hand-held experiments that investigate the physicality and perception of space.
