Replicating Architecture is an interactive video installation that Chiara Passa is developing for a site-specific place. The time is variable. Replicating Architecture shows how the net art feeds (for example the rhizome news) can influence and reshape an architecture placed in a real urban environment. In fact, through the patch ‘RSS Downloader’ in Quartz Composer, she can manage the RSS feeds received from a web site and convert them into a sort of variable texture that she’s constructed and shaped as a DNA structure. It is made by aggregated lines connected to a several other patches that determine: phases, amplitudes, light environment, colours, xyz rotations, etc…

As the DNA configuration is vertical, she’s selected a tower or an obelisk for the projection. In this illusory dimension, infinite lines generating emptiness and distances are “attracted” and skimmed one with the others, fading. Thanks to the Net-Art news, the architecture becomes an essential structure that draws a sort of fluctuating original human structure always in transformation.
