Wild Cards: A Game of Orgman
EXHIBITION October 1999, presentation February 2000
PRODUCER Keller Easterling, Faculty, School of Architecture
ASSOCIATE PRODUCERS Max Marmor, Art & Architecture Library; Susan Williams, Visual Resources Collection
Wild Cards is a web site and exhibition funded by Yale's Digital Media Center and the Yale School of Architecture. It examines a resonant set of global commercial organizations (AMC Theaters, Wal-mart, Schipol Group, Arnold Palmer Golf and Starbucks) that are exporting "real estate products" like superstores, entertainment centers and superhubs. Although architects often either lament the pervasiveness of these formats or long to control them aesthetically, this study chooses to index their physical components as well as their critical procedural and temporal dimensions. It treats these protocols as "sites" in a giant volatile game -a game of orgman which though unlikely to absorb planning prescriptions, is responsive to clever cross-matching of cultural components and design wild cards. The project was presented both at a special showing in the A&A building, and a project presentation at the DMCA. Link
