Neighbours on one side were recently evicted for operating an illegal marijuana grow-op, neighbours on the other have a straight view into the living area. The proposed solution: House as camera. The word 'Camera' is derived from the word 'Chamber' and here the house is conceived as a private chamber for selectively seeing without necessarily being seen. http://goodweather.ca/A-Curator-s-Game http://goodweather.ca/following/goodweather.ca/A-Curator-s-Game Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:10:37 +0000 Goodweather | Vancouver 1015949 A Curator's Game (2007) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/00.jpg" border="0" width="450" height="600" width_o="450" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/00_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/01.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="474" width_o="810" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/01_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/02.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="485" width_o="791" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/02_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/03.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="800" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1015949/03_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://goodweather.ca/Media-Exhibitions-Publications http://goodweather.ca/following/goodweather.ca/Media-Exhibitions-Publications Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:10:26 +0000 Goodweather | Vancouver 1239617 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1239617/DSC05139.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="453" width_o="706" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1239617/DSC05139_o.jpg" align="left" /> Pidgin #8, Princeton Architectural Press featuring work by Michael Lis (goodweather), Martin Hogue and Samantha Lynch at the Canadian Centre for Architecture for the 2009 Power Corporation of Canada Award ***Publications + Media 2011: (forthcoming) Cabinet Magazine, Brooklyn New York.

In search of new territory we have entered an invisible wilderness, a thick forest of signal and noise. Survival depends on our ability to navigate through dense knots of information, cutting clearings and laying the foundations for new ways of dwelling. Media saturates our peception and we become creatures in a perpetual lucid dream - a dream we experience through windows and portable screens. A “green-screen” is an apparatus used in the fabrication of all manner of fantasy. It is employed in the making of movies and television scenarios to composite impossible realities. This project proposes a mobile green-screen - or, more accurately, a tapestry woven from green "strings" of data to envelope the body in a new wilderness - reality is confused with dream, nature and culture are threaded together in the imagination and a home in the wilderness emerges... A new world to cultivate. http://goodweather.ca/QR-Beach-Fire http://goodweather.ca/following/goodweather.ca/QR-Beach-Fire Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:09:51 +0000 Goodweather | Vancouver 1409292 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1409292/01-QR-Beachfire-CLU-competition.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="414" width_o="773" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1409292/01-QR-Beachfire-CLU-competition_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1409292/02-QR-Beachfire-CLU-competition.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="414" width_o="773" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/1409292/02-QR-Beachfire-CLU-competition_o.jpg" align="left" /> ///// (2010) Concept for an interactive fibre-optic light installation at Iona Beach, near Vancouver BC. Between 2000 and 2001 designated beach fire pits around the city of Vancouver were destroyed and fires on the beach made illegal. A division-chief from the fire department was quoted in the city weekly newspaper saying “[The fire pits] were too popular... Too much of the community came down to the beach.” This neutralization of one of the city’s most unique natural public spaces was for many Vancouverites regrettable, and sadly all too familiar. The QR-Beachfire project seeks to reactivate nightlife at the beach and draw users into an interactive game of civic lighting. The QR Beachfire is activated when a user finds and scans one of many QR codes hidden amongst the beach rocks thus causing fibre optic cables knit amongst the rocks to light up. Single or multiple users can control the timing and intensity of the lights as they engage in a game of interactive light patterns and sequences. While it may no longer be possible to roast wieners and make ‘smores, perhaps a fireside song might still be heard on a balmy star-studded summer night around a QR-Beachfire. http://goodweather.ca/Las-Meninas-Immobile-1 http://goodweather.ca/following/goodweather.ca/Las-Meninas-Immobile-1 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:09:44 +0000 Goodweather | Vancouver 2157688 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/2157688/01c-for-web-Las_meninas_mirrored_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="372" width_o="1032" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/2157688/01c-for-web-Las_meninas_mirrored_o.jpg" align="left" /> Las Meninas (Immobile 1), 2011 ///// Immobilzations, still-life, still life and vital order The immobilizing affect of the gaze - its arrest and suspension - solicits contemplation, a practice of giving intellectual shape to vital relations within the world. Objects become arrested gestures (similar to the arresting affect of a photograph), points within a vast perceptually regulating “cage” (Foucault) that enables discrete, radical moments of stillness. The painter’s standing back and stepping towards carries him through proximal thresholds that condition more than just his somatic relationship to the work. His distance from the work alters the very conditions of its interpretation, its feints, its conceits, its articulation, its naturalism. A stepping “in” to the work triggers an intimacy with the very act of the mise-en-scene - or rather, the mise ensemble. It is the specificity of a putting together, a placing, carefully, skillfully into order(s), positions, configurations, constellations. Meaning emerges indexically, which is to say almost invisibly, as the trace and exponent of a locutionary curatorial act, a promise, greeting or dismissal of life within things. http://goodweather.ca/Mapping-Contemporeneity http://goodweather.ca/following/goodweather.ca/Mapping-Contemporeneity Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:09:40 +0000 Goodweather | Vancouver 2139739 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/2139739/07_Contemp_map_Diptych_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="196" width_o="1631" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/81440/2139739/07_Contemp_map_Diptych_o.jpg" align="left" /> Contemporariness inscribes itself in the present by marking it above all as archaic.
