How are our built environments and minds intertwined? Recent developments in Environmental Neuroscience demonstrate that greenery has positive effects on the mind. As our relationship with nature becomes increasingly mediated by screens and digital systems, Calibrate contemplates our future with our built environment. Does nature need to have measurable utility to justify its existence, and can a simulation of nature truly suffice?

Drift Alley: An Inventory of Survival Economies

Drift Alley: An Inventory of Survival Economies presents a panoramic digital frieze of fictional shopfronts inspired by the conserved shophouses and microeconomies in Singapore's Little India district. The work unfolds as a continuous street elevation of 9 conservation shophouses. Each building hosts a fictional trade or service that reflects the evolution of digital economies in the age of artificial intelligence and the metaverse. Collectively, the shopfronts present a speculative catalogue of services responding to the uncertainties of life in the near future.
