Nothing here is part of the collection. Each one is shown with the signals it holds in common with SIMULACRA and the entries those signals lead to, so the reason it appears can be followed and disagreed with. Distance is read off the archive graph, not scored.

It crosses a discipline, or holds a single signal within its own. An existing interest extended into another creator, period or field.

Skyspaces

James Turrell · 1974–

Church of the Light and Therme Vals both use an aperture to make light into the material of a room. Turrell removes the building around the aperture: a cut ceiling, a bench, and nothing else, so the sky becomes a surface. It is the archive's strongest architectural idea isolated and shown on its own.
