Hyper Tokyo

In the contemporary information society, data is updated so fast, so many new sources are discovered with each search and so many bits of information are accumulated that formulas that seek to draw static lines on a cloud of information that is recomposed with each new upload to the internet have become obsolete.

This research project is constructed from the immediate present, connecting diverse fragments of information and identifying the systems that construct the urban everyday life in Tokyo from a situationist and hypermedial approach. A virtual space that includes photographs, images, videos, diagrams and texts, establishing complex and mutant relationships between apparently unconnected data that trace new relationships between nature, time, tradition, regulations, customs, technology and public space.

The result is a complex cloud of data that can be explored and consulted via a website.

HYPER TOKYO was selected by the curatorial team of 'becoming', led by architect Atxu Amann, to form part of the central hall of the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018.

It was also exhibited at COCA: Congreso Internacional en Comunicación Arquitectónica, at La Arquería de Nuevos Ministerios in June 2017.

It was published in VOLUME 3, NO. 2 JUNE 2020 of the scientific journal The Urban Transcripts Journal.
