Abstract:

Seoul, Republic of Korea, September, 2017 — Commissioned by the curators of the inaugural Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, open September 2, 2017 through December ??, 2017 at the Donuimun Museum Village, Seoul, SK. Driver Less Vision presents the immersive experience of becoming an autonomous, self-driving vehicle. Created by Urtzi Grau (Fake Industries Architectural Agonism), Guillermo Fernandez-Abascal with Perlin Studios, the project was produced with virtual reality video and architectural design by the New York-based teams, and installed in a 25’ dome at the Seoul Biennale. Driver Less Vision examines the tension and reality of AI and humans merging and diverging as they negotiate Seoul's unique urban landscape—challenging us to consider how we can design cities for the future of autonomous vehicles. Driver Less Vision aims to generate empathy between humans and non-humans, to construct the trust required for negotiations that will settle how we will live together. By overlapping human and machine’s perceptions, the installation helps to identify the areas of the city that will need to be redesigned in the immediate future. Driver Less Vision is the immersive experience of becoming an autonomous, self-driving vehicle. It explores the untapped conflicts and disruptive effects on the built environment caused by the deployment of technologies for autonomous mobility. Currently, the visual stimuli that organizes traffic is designed for human perception. The arrival of driverless cars entails the emergence of a omnidirectional gaze that is required to negotiate existing visual codes. To assume that driverless cars will fully adapt to future conditions of the city, however, neglects the history of transformations in urban streetscapes associated with changes in vehicular technologies. Driver Less Vision is an attempt to understand how driverless cars will change the city by immersing the audience in an urban journey through the car’s point of view, seeing the streets of Seoul through overlapping and dissonant perceptions. The project was produced for the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism in 2017, utilizing an eight meter diameter dome with 360 visuals developed with the generous support of University of Technology Sydney, Rice University and Ocular Robotics.
