Abstract:
Xenoforms is a work that integrates artificial intelligence, robotics, synthetic biotechnologies, and architecture, with the purpose of reflecting on machine agency and computational colonization of the physical space. Xenoforms refer to machine-created & machine-generated synthetic parasites that aim to occupy and control the body of an architectural host. The properties and qualities of the parasites are meticulously inspected by an autonomous 7- axis robotic system that attempts to enthusiastically accomplish its set goal, that is, to identify the fittest candidate from the selection pool, one that will manage to successfully derive its sustenance from the architectural space.
