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.

Videos and other elements are renewed regularly.

Home Transfer is part of an ongoing cluster of works begun in 1994. In these works "Housebroken", "Cultures & Ferments", "Tower-Tour", baked bread-bowls serve various functions allowing me to explore social space. In these ongoing projects I create pathways of communication between people on-line and specialists in different fields of Art, Science and Humanities (Bakers, Doctors, Architects…). A discussion is launched incorporating the public sphere through the Internet.
