THESE FOLLOWING IMAGES REPRESENT AN EXEMPLE WHERE ARCHITECTURE SERVES
AS A PEDESTAL FOR SCULPTURAL EXPRESSION.
THESE MODELS INVADE THE PUBLIC SPACE AND OPEN UP A NARRATIVE INTO PARALLEL TIMELINES.

WHAT ARE THEY?
WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? WHY ARE THEY HERE?

THE PHYSICAL/VIRTUAL FORMS EMBODY THE MOTION OF GROWTH, IT VISUALISES CHANGE IN SOLID/DIGITAL MATTER.

THE INTERRUPTIVE SITE-SPECIFICITY TAKE PLACE IN AN UPCOMING AREA IN ROTTERDAM, COOLHAVEN.

THIS AREA IS SURROUNDED BY WATER, APPROACHABLE THROUGH BRIDGES. THIS IS HOME FOR A VARIETY OF CLASSES WITHIN THE DUTCH SOCIETY. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THIS AREA CAN BE LABELLED AS A STATE OF TRANSFORMATION. FUTURE PLANS FOR NEW LIVING SPACES BASED ON THE HAUSSMANNCONCEPT WILL UPGRADE THE AREA.
THE INEVITABLE GENTRIFICATION HURTS A BIG PART OF THE CURRENT RESIDENTS. TO VISUALIZE THE IMPACT OF THESE UPCOMING CHANGES, THE SIZE OF THE MODELS WERE EMPHASSIZESD.

Interruptive site-specificity

Conceived in 1980, Rosalyn Deutsche’s definition of the two key types of site-specificity in art i.e. “assimilative” and “interruptive”, is more than pertinent today for attempting to ‘map’ the categories of site-specificity in art. As contrasted to “assimilative” site-specific art’s useful and decorative role, “interruptive” site-specific art “intervenes” in the built spaces “so as to interrupt rather than secure, the seeming coherence and closure” of space.

In an “interruptive” site-specific artwork, an artist may undermine the functionality and institutional status of a particular site through various ways e.g. challenging not only the functional form and uses of built architecture, but also, the digital and non-digital architectural processes and materials, exploring the contrast between architectural models and built architecture, etc. This webpage examines whether and how the definition of interruptive site-specificity can be manifested and expanded in virtual-environment artworks.
