In 2014, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Epiphyte Chamber” by Philip Beesley (Interactive Art) with a Honorary Mention.
*Epiphyte Chamber* explores a new generation of interactive and responsive spaces, raising fundamental questions about how architecture might behave in the future. Might future buildings begin to know and care about us? Might they start, in very primitive ways, to become alive?
