The A+D Architecture and Design Museum (“A+D Museum”) announced their forthcoming exhibition “One Object at a Time” curated by Ebrahim Poustinchi, Founder/Director of the Robotically Augmented Design (RAD) Lab and Assistant Professor of Architecture at Kent State University. The exhibition, set to open on June 18th 2021, is an exploration of the lines between virtual, physical, and digital, which have been blurred through the notions of physical distancing, WFH, and quarantine. It plays with the experience of space, scale, and architecture in relation to virtuality, presence, and absence. One Object at a Time is the first exhibition of its kind.
The curator uses the exhibition space not just as a platform to showcase these objects, but instead builds the space of the exhibition out of these objects. The objects will be brought together, one at a time, digitally curated, scaled, positioned, and re-imagined as part of a bigger whole. Via an online VR platform, the objects serve both as the exhibition-space, and the exhibited, simultaneously.

A+D, One Object at a Time tries to take advantage of this haziness to propose another clarity. The show is based on a collection of digital objects by participants; objects with a variety of characteristics, articulations, and digital materiality; Inhabitable or uninhabitable, shelled or solid. However, the scale/orientation/multiplication of these objects remains vague, and open to curators' reinterpretation. The objects come together, one at a time, digitally curated, scaled, positioned, and reimagined as "part" of a bigger "whole."

The exhibition space is no longer a platform to showcase the objects; In this instance, the collection of objects becomes a medium to produce an experienceable exhibition space. Via an online VR platform, the objects serve both as the exhibition—space, and the exhibited, simultaneously.

One Object at a Time is made of two sets of experience: 1-Interactive VR/PC multiplayer realtime game, and 2-A web-based interactive experience featuring 20+ drawing apps.
