A virtual archive system for
House of Annetta
2023
I created this virtual space upon the cybernetic system that started by AnnettaPedretti, a former resident of house of Annetta, I would like to use the virtual house as a chance to open up the rich archive that Annetta built in the past 40 year, including architecture, art and social movements, especially exploring how cybernetics played a systematic role within all these aspects.
Commissioned by the House of Annetta and supported by the Arts Council.
Original Location: https://hubs.mozilla.com/nNtLwkw/hoa-cybernetic-house
Due to the closure of Mozilla Hub- an virtual open-source interactive on 31 May 2024, the Cybernetic house is no unavailable to access.
The space offers a video game like experience, users can choose their avatar before entering, the idea behind that was to invite people to engage with the archive in a playful way and been able to have the liberation to access and leave a trace at anytime and anywhere.
The spatial form of the virtual house took inspiration from one of the arhive piece called The Living Book.
The virtual house is constituted by three buildings and connected by an intricate web of corridors, users are encouraged to get lost in this exploration.
Three buildings are based on three objects extracted from the original archive, each one of them represents the fundamentals that have concluded from the past, from left to right, there is space dedicated to spatial justice, cybernetic inquiry and physical craft.
The assemble of these aspects shows the continuation of what has been started by Annetta and how we integrate them into the current and future intellectual and architecture developments of the physical building of House of Annetta as a community art centre.
After the journey, visitors will be invited to the feedback deck before leaving the virtual house , the aim of this deck is to provide the format of a co-create social context study
