We are INHABITANTS OF EXCLUSION ZONE (IOEZ), an online-only, remote,
and open-source architectural research assembly located on a server near you.
Currently part of the Architectural
Association's Visiting
School program, IOEZ sets to define `on-line` as a place to visit, the online outdoors®.
An academic program for which a physical location is detrimental.
We are travelling to places out of reach, geographically demanding, socially inappropriate or
politically unsettled. Places unbound to the time of day, weather, borders or policies, but
those relying on ideas, transistors, networks and topographies.
We merge screens, hands, airwaves, footsteps and frequencies, interpreting signal delays, overlays
and cultural shocks, in a world maintained by digital connectivity. A different `site`, a different
type of travel and mobility.
We set to explore a world built out of observations that transform with our ongoing experience of
it. One in real-time, that not only transports a physical location but also reveals the unseen
reality of translocated local networks and infrastructures.
Spaces become abstract with distance and the fusion of multiple points of view. Zooming far
from the physical distractions of each context, a world of ideas, connections, narratives and conversations emerges.
A world in transit taking shape while being transited.
Translocation allows a disconnect from the physical distraction, travelling via networks of grey
matter while browsing someone else's perspective and perception. We are travelling to a space that
no longer exists as such – a decentralized, collective experience. A space broadcasted in its pre-build, post-built
or un-built state.
We are set to identify and discover all political, social, environmental, economical, residential and
not least technological exlusion zones out there. Some that can be physically restraining or demanding, socially
exclusive, ideologically challenging or uncomfortable.
IOEZ discovers, asks and experience, in various forms. A real-time global expedition, revolving
around the spatial thinkers of tomorrow, converging time-based interferences into augmented
arrangements of
time and space.
IOEZ defines spatial frameworks and experiences on the edge of systematic computing, a conflicting
mix of analogue and digital.
