dbox with Diller+Scofidio, "16 hours", USA 2001, 11'00'' (Eyebeam Museum competition. Video copyright dbox, architecture by Diller+Scofidio)

16 hours follows four types of characters: the visitor, student, media artist, and choreographer, viewed simultaneously through a four-way split screen. As the paths of the characters overlap, the events, art installations, interactive screens, performances, and different occupants of the museum are seen concurrently from multiple angles and vantage points. Over the course of a full day, these interactions not only show the programmatic generation of the Diller+Scofidio design, but also its intentional fostering of synthesis and interaction and its capacity for evocative chance encounter. The animation also allows for dynamic aspects of the museum to become legible. Through this combination of techniques, 16 hrs does far more than a conventional walkthrough; it is an exposition and interpretation of the complex architectural life of the proposal and the meanings it will produce for, in, and among those who will inhabit it.
