CENTER FOR SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
cSI (Physical)
We are a clubhouse/workspace for practitioners working in:
(1.) 3D & Worldbuilding: Character/arch modeling, shaders, VFX, Game Engine art, and AI for 3D worlds (think cinematography, not abstraction).
(2.) Simulation: Artificial life, agents, planetary sensing, climate/energy/geospatial analysis, climate adaptation visualization, and climate remediation robotics simulation.
(3.) Experimental Performance: Max/Supercollider, physical props, and digitally mediated movement/choreography.
General Aesthetics: Post-Cyberpunk, Eco-Fiction, Climate Fiction, Weird Fiction, Science Fantasy, Weird Fantasy, Ultra Bright/Pop preferred (but also surprise us).
Aesthetic References: Ian Cheng, Keiken, Lenia, Meuko! Meuko!, Howie Lee, Panterra, Marco Donnarumma, Joris Putteneers, Kinetech Arts, Gooooose.
cSI (Virtual)
In addition to a physical space, we also maintain a multiplayer desktop and VR world / forkable template for staging performances, artificial life experiments, etc. (please see left)
cSI (hybrid)
We are doing some experiments at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in order to set up a CAVE environment for phygital performance
