Universal Assembly Unit has now disassembled (2013-2020). Special thanks to our collaborators and commissioners who have come with us on our journey over the years. Feel free to get in touch about past projects.
Part of an interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with HUT Architecture. It is an interactive light canopy reimagining the identity and function of the primitive hut in the 21st century. Deconstructing its universal elements, the hut is then reconstructed as a lightweight, illuminated structure which reflects our growing cultural obsession with digital technology and more specifically the bombardment of notifications which distance us from human interaction.
For Pixel Hut version 2.0, the canopy was installed in a gallery space with food created by Dinnerat29. Sensors under a 2-way mirrored table picked up on phone notifications, which were then exaggerated and personified by overwhelming motion and chromatics saturating the space.
