Ambient Object

The project questions the status of the image of an object. It reflects on the idea that the capacity to describe an object through images may be such that the description of the object begins, in some instances, to coincide with the object itself. The process of documentation of sites, objects, and spaces becomes misconstrued to engender multiple authenticities. Translations between drawings and objects produce a fusion between architectural form and forms that appear to be constructed natures.

Acts of translation deal with the shift from one mode of description to another, creating gaps in perception that challenge what can be construed, or misconstrued, to be either real or fictive. Differentiating itself from literal translation [digital model] or parallel translation [casting], the project instead produces translations that attempt to render things with varying degrees of latitude and to bring that rendition together with its source.
