Teulo Talks + DuPont + Omega Windows and Doors present Dana Cupkova + Glenn Murdoch - 40 NZIA Points

11.30am - 12.30pm - Dana Cupkova - Epiphyte Lab

We are interested in making things that reflect upon relevant cultural, ecological and material frameworks. We believe that ideas mutate when they meet an environment, real or virtual, and are best refined through iterative loops of making, computational analysis, simulation, evolutionary algorithms, prototypes and full scale construction. We understand that anytime we make something, we become consumers, but we suspect that environments that are tightly bound to specific ecologies of mind and matter have a better chance of being effective, efficient, and beautiful. We realize that the work we do, collectively, is more than the sum of our individual efforts, consequently we look to create open systems that can exist and evolve happily, beyond our ability of control.
