Scattered house, Usman Haque & Adam Somlai Fischer

  • 16 years ago
Scattered House is an architectural experiment founded on a truly contemporary notion of space, where issues of ubiquitous connectivity, family diasporas, design-by-occupant, and public control technology come together in an installation assembled from inexpensive electronic toys and gadgets.

We are inviting members of the public to visit the Hungarian Cultural Centre and contribute to elements of the "house" --  they can either bring toys and gadgets that will become part of the amalgamated whole or we will also have a selection of items that they can try hacking themselves. Architects and interaction designers Adam Somlai-Fischer and Usman Haque, authors of the online manual "Low Tech Sensors and Actuators", will be on hand to advise and assist in this process, as well as Bengt Sjölén, artist from Stockholm.
