Présentation de l'éditeur :
“What is fascinating is the inability to separate the real from the
digital, because they already form part of the same nature.” So we said
in the last issue of Verb. Here we explore how this fusion takes place.
Buildings and cities grow, are transformed, and dissolve.
How can this
evolution be generated, controlled, enhanced or imagined? Is our
environment programmable? How does the fusion of natural and artificial
matter produce new architectural organisms, new environments, new
natures? How does technology animate space, and how do users and
programs animate matter? The fifth volume of Actar's boogazine looks
for a new definition of the organic.Projects by: Terraswarm,
