"Say future and most people immediately think of new techniques, innovation, robots and digitization. High tech. Certainly in a city like Delft. Technological innovation has an unmistakable influence on the future, but how? What is the effect of all these new developments in the way we interact with each other, in how we shape our living environment, our cities? In part 2 of the annual program What Next picture tomorrow, LUSTlab and Michiel van der Kley sketch the imaginative possibilities of new technologies, while Georg Bohle shows us imaginary landscapes. " LUSTlab, Michiel van der Kley and Georg Bohle
"In the center of the exhibition space is a more than man-sized egg-shaped pavilion made up of 4,760 separate parts. Hundreds of people with 3D printers all over the world contributed to Project EGG by Michiel van der Kley. This designer provided each participant with a digital file to create their own and unique building block for the EGG pavilion. Where Van der Kley creates a new community and a new form of production around a new technique, the experimental LUSTlab of the Hague design agency Lust (Jeroen Barendse, Thomas Castro and Dimitri Nieuwenhuizen) makes the effect of new techniques can be felt in our urban environment. Their Hyperlocator in the vault room sharpens your senses and lets you experience what it means to be watched by the city. Something that happens to us unconsciously on a daily basis. Also in Georg Bohle's dizzyingly detailed drawings. the urban environment is the basis, his intriguing landscapes hang on the surrounding walls pavilion EGG. Bohle researches cities around the world. While drawing, he collects textures and structures to eventually transform the physical and cultural fabric of a city into its imaginary landscapes. "
