Vicente Guallart (dir):Hyperhabitat. Reprogramming the World

2008
Hyperhabitat, reprogramming the world is the biggest Internet Zero network ever built. This video shows how the installation at the Venice Biennale Architecture Exhibition works, how are established the relations between objects and scales, nodes and codelines, visualization and representation.
The project engages with the theme of the Biennale by positing the need to reprogramme the structures with which we inhabit the world through the introduction of distributed intelligence in the nodes, networks and environments with which we construct buildings, cities and territories.

The installation includes the construction of a house with shared spaces made of methacrylates with embedded microservers, which interact with one another to generate relationships that are displayed as a large-format projection on which line codes can be drawn to suggest relationships or line codes between nodes. In addition a special web platform, to be launched on November 24, will enable people around the world to put forward formulas for reprogramming the world.
