Invisible Landscapes: Act I Home

Strange installation at the Royal Academy in their new architecture studio looking at how digital technology is transforming our lives.

 
This is the first in a series of three installations on this theme starting with home by architectural practice MAIO. I must admit I didn’t really get this. It was a mocked up flat with a bedroom and a bathroom out on the veranda. Everything in it was white including all white Birkenstocks. Voices came from various places in the room talking about recycling and technology.
 
I found the voices a bit preachy and quite hard to listen to. It was a beautiful space but I didn’t really work out its purpose from being in it and have had to go back to the website to write this entry.
 
Closes on 24 September 2018
