Lebbeus Woods
"Presently we control and limit our future by designing what is already known"
Born 1940, in Lansing, Michigan. Woods worked for Eero Saarinen and Associates and has been creating experimental projects since 1976. His visionary architecture is concerned with the cultural regeneration of society, directly confronting urban landscapes and social and political conditions presently undergoing radical transformations. His projects propose architecture as an instrument of social transformation. He is a co-founder of the New York-based Research Institute for Experimental Architecture. Currently, he is a Visiting Professor at Cooper Union in New York.

[/] Blur 02//: Power at Play in Digital Art and Culture
Culture is structured around the central themes of power and play. For this second BLUR event, an internationally diverse group of artists, technologists, and cultural theorists accepted our invitation to participate in two days of private think-tank sessions, and two evenings of public performance/presentation. An extensive archive of the exchange will launch in May 2002.
