HOME TRANSFER looks at the relationship between home, architecture and new technologies. It explores changing notions about being @ home. Contemporary nomadism and its effect on memory, place and presence intersect with current practices in architecture and new technolgies. A dwelling made of bread and its parasitic invasion is used to reveal the participant's psychological and physiological relationship to home. I establish dialogical, Host/Guest relations between architects and people online. The site features streaming video of architects discussing a cultural paradigm where technology affects aspects of domestic life in new ways. Visitors may share thoughts in two guest-books provided for this purpose. The written entries reveal the relevance of contemporary practices on feeling at home.The aim is to build a space for speculation. The evolving discourse is essential in building the work’s content.
