Summary:

In this lecture, Nicholas de Monchaux will weave together two stories: the first, based in part on archival work at the CCA, is the story of Gordon Matta-Clark<U+2019>s unfinished but essential encounter with architectural computing in the 1960s and 1970s--the ghost of which contrasts with much of the development of virtual tools in the ensuing decades. The second is a specific information-based set of de Monchaux<U+2019>s design proposals around vacant space, titled Local Code. Together, the stories reveal ways to bridge the division between urban and architectural computing that can be traced to the cataclysms and encounters of Matta-Clark<U+2019>s own technological age.
