Bio:
Laura Kurgan is Director of Visual Studies and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture with a collaborative design practice in New York City. Her installations and projects, which utilize advanced information technologies to ask about space in the digital age, have been exhibited internationally. Her recent installation projects includes Monochrome Landscapes, exhibited as part of Architecture by Numbers, Whitney Altria, New York, March 2004-May 2004, New York, September 11, 2001, Four Days Later, in Ctrl[Space], ZKM, Karlsruhe, 2002, and Global Clock No. 2, 2002, part of Money and Value in the Swiss Expo 2002 in Biel/Bierne. She also designed Around Ground Zero, a fold-out map of the area around the site of the World Trade Center. Among her design projects are: New York offices for WITNESS, a human rights organization which provides video technology and training to activists around the world; and an online graphic design classroom at Lehman High school in the Bronx. She prepared Claiming Space for Small Schools, a report for the Bronx Superintendency of High Schools, which analyzes the feasibility of the conversion of large high schools into campuses of small schools with the support of NYSCA. She is currently completing a book titled You Are Here: Post-Military Technology and the New Landscape of Satellite Images, forthcoming from Zone Books which collects her projects and articles which question how architects can respond to and make discriminating use of the revolution in our experience of space and time brought on by new technologies. She has published in Alphabet City, ANY, Archis, Assemblage, and Grey Room.
