The traditional importance of built form as a tool for controlling spatial experience is
being reduced by the increasing affordability of sophisticated micro-technology.
These technologies of effects regulates, among many things, temperature and
luminosity; which are ever-enveloping spatial medias that communicate to these
technologies.

It is in the characteristics of these spatial media’s wavelengths, fields of atoms and
bytes that spatial experiences are molded and shaped, bringing forth magnified and
skewed processes of cause-and-effect.

Within the fabrication of objects and interiors, mechanically regulated spatial
systems are not only being situated on conditioning the user/inhabitant but bringing
the user/inhabitant into a system. This is generating spaces of simulation that merge
ambience and behavior in the aim to entertain, optimize commercial performance,
improve quality of life and even critique.

Christopher Kaltenbach will discuss his research into this mode of spatial
subjectivity being carried out in association with the Tokyo design studio
<actionfindcopypaste>, for which he is a member.
