ISEA2011
- Professor Marcos Novak directs the transLAB at UCSB (US). He is researcher, artist, theorist, and transarchitect. In 2008, “Transmitting Architecture”, the title of his seminal 1995 essay, became the theme of the XXIII World Congress of the UIA (Union Internationale Des Architectes), the largest architectural organization in the world. His projects, theoretical essays, and interviews have been translated into over twenty languages and have appeared in over 70 countries, and he lectures, teaches, and exhibits worldwide. Drawing upon architecture, music, and computation, and introducing numerous additional influences from art, science, and technology, his work intentionally defies categorization. He is universally recognized as the pioneer of architecture in cyberspace, of the critical consideration of virtual space as architectural and urban place, and of the use of generative computational composition in architecture and design. He is a Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is affiliated with CNSI (the California NanoSystems Institute), MAT (Media Art and Technology), and Art. He named and was instrumental in the design of the UCSB AlloSphere (the three-story high sphere for the creation of immersive virtual environments, the largest such facility in the world) and created its inaugural project, the AlloBrain@AlloSphere, using fMRI scans of his own brain. He is currently working on a new Allotopes project for the AlloSphere. In 2004, he was honored to become a Fellow of the World Technology Network.
ISEA2000- Marcos Novak is Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at UCLA. He is looking forward to increasing the definition of architecture by including electronic space. He is the father of the concept of «liquid architecture in cyberspace» and of studies dematerialized architecture for a new and virtual public space.
ISEA1997
- Architect and artist, Novak is now a visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a pioneer in the field of Virtual Reality and its implications for architecture and the arts. His work has been recognized world-wide.
ISEA1995
Marcos Novak, (USA) is architect, artist, composer, and theorist investigating actual, virtual and hybrid intelligent environments. He originated the study of liquid architectures in cyberspace, and is founding director of the RealityLab and the Advanced Design Research Program at the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin.
