Marcos Novak is an architect known for his concept of "liquid architecture", which refers to architectural forms that exist solely on computer screens and can change shape algorithmically. He originated the idea of dematerialized architecture for virtual spaces like cyberspace. Some of his key concepts include liquid architectures, transarchitecture, variable data forms, and data-driven forms. His liquid architectures are generated algorithmically and can be conceived, modeled, built, and inhabited through digital means. Novak seeks to blur the boundary between real and virtual architecture.

Connectivity in action/form. A model for evaluating spatial impacts of wirele...Selena Savic
This presentation introduces a weak argument that architecturality of wireless communication infrastructure results from the fact that wireless signals, like architecture, incorporate agency. By agency, we mean a capacity of a system to autonomously and adaptively regulates its relationship/goals within a certain environment.
The weakness off this argument resides mainly in the fact that agency is not the most perceived property of architecture - it is a contested feature and requires complicated argumentation. Nevertheless, it will be demonstrated how it is exactly here that we should build foundations for a model for evaluating spatial impacts of wireless communication.
Wireless communication signals partake in the production of urbanity as connectivity that is or not available to people and devices. Ultimately, they outline a binary spatial configuration: connected and disconnected places. In this respect, we regard waves as structural infrastructure. We examine the materiality of connectivity - a phenomenon beyond mere functioning connection – the form given to wirelessness through action.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

3. Marcos Novak is an architect, artist, composer, and theorist who employs
algorithmic techniques to design actual, virtual and hybrid intelligent
environments.
The self-described trans- architect is seeking to expand the definition
of architecture by including electronic space, and originated the concept of
liquid architectures in cyberspace and the study of a dematerialized
architecture for the new, virtual public domain, the immersive virtual worlds.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY (MANY)
INTERDISCIPLINARY (BETWEEN, AMONG)
TRANSDISCIPLINARY (ACROSS, BEYOND)
New TECTONICS (The science of construction)
Involving algorithmic conception, rapid
prototyping, robotic prefabrication
Novak apparently wants to blur the boundary
dividing the real world from the virtual world
(reality to virtuality)
Materially, an architecture that is conceived algorithmically,
prototyped rapidly and fabricated robotically.
Informationally, an architecture that is conceived algorithmically,
executed computationally and inhabited interactively.
HIS APPROACH:
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
5. we conceive algorithmically (morphogenesis);
we model numerically (rapid prototyping);
we build robotically (new tectonics);
we inhabit interactively (intelligent space);
we telecommunicate instantly (pantopicon);
we are informed immersively (liquid architectures);
we socialise nonlocally (non- local public domain);
we evert virtuality (transarchitectures)."
HIS APPROACH:
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
6. EMERGENCE OF VIRTUAL SPACES:
Once predicated on qualities such as enclosure, form, and , architectural
space is finally getting rid of its physicality and is now giving way to virtual spaces,
where digital technology emerges in the form of data and information.
Digital media are responsible for creating a new territory where stability and
actuality are tempered by this indescribable reality: a reality where variations of
visual qualities, internal contents, and social expressions are influencing the
creation of new spaces. However, this is not an imperious assumption. The
emergence of new virtual spaces does not always mean the end of physical space
• TRANSVERGENCE
• TRANSARCHITECTURES
• TRANSMODERNITY
• LIQUID ARCHITECTURE
• NAVIGABLE MUSIC
• HABITABLE CINEMA
• ARCHIMUSIC
• EVERSION
• ALLOGENESIS
By, "...placing the human within the information space, it is an architectural
problem; but beyond this, cyberspace has an architecture of its own and,
furthermore, can contain architecture
“cyberspace is architecture, cyberspace has an architecture, and cyberspace
contains architecture"
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
7. C Y B E R S PA C E :
But what does it mean literally?
‘Cyber’ connotes automation, artificial control, and computerisation. In the context
of artificially generated imaginable environments,
‘space’, of course, means a multidimensional place, most often used in relation with
Electronic spaces created by computer-based media.
Cyberspace relate to ‘virtual reality (VR)’, ‘data visualisation’, ‘graphic user interfaces
(GUIs)’, ‘networks’, ‘multimedia’, ‘hyper-graphics’.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
8. TRANSARCHITECTURE:
A new domain extended to include intelligent local, remote, and virtual space as a new continuum; … the
techniques for designing in this new continuum involve conceiving architecture algorithmically, modeling
it directly from data via new techniques such as rapid prototyping, building it robotically, inhabiting it
interactively, occupying it telepresently, and connecting it seamlessly to virtual space, where a parallel
conceptual and poetic structure applies
In short, “transarchitecture” is The intersection of information, in the form of algorithms, and the material
world, as robotic prototypes
It is the Intermingling of architecture and media, the combination of design and machine/computer.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
9. LIQUID ARCHITECTURE
Cyberspace is liquid. Liquid cyberspace, liquid architecture, liquid cities. Liquid architecture is more
than kinetic architecture, robotic architecture, and architecture of fixed parts and variable links.
Liquid architecture is an architecture that breathes, pulses, leaps as one form and lands as another.
Liquid architecture is an architecture whose form is contingent on the interests of the beholder;
It is an architecture that opens to welcome me and closes to defend me;
It is an architecture without doors and hallways, the next room is always where I need it to be
and what I need it to be.
Liquid architecture makes liquid cities, cities that change at the shift of a value, where visitors with
different backgrounds see different landmarks, where neighbourhoods vary with ideas held in
common, and evolve as ideas mature or dissolve.
Marcos Novak, Cyberspace: First Steps.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
10. AS HE SAYS – LIQUID ARCHITECTURE
Space is no longer innocent. Under the impact of science and technology, ordinary space
has become just a subset of a composite "newspace" that interweaves local, remote,
telepresent, interactivated, and virtual spacetime into the new spatial continuum that is
the focus of emerging transarchitectures.
Physically, this installation consists of four interrelated parts :
A. A large scale video projection of liquid forms derived from mathematical explorations
of virtuality;
B. A physical model captured from the fluctuating projected virtual forms ;
C. a sensor-created, invisible, interactive sculptural form, and ;
D. a generative, interactive soundscape that weaves the previous three together
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
11. • The video projection consists entirely of liquid, animated mathematical forms derived from the
manipulation of mathematical fields.
• Various kinds are shown in rapid succession.
• An interactive, generative musical algorithm drives the video, intercutting among various sources at a
high rate, producing a large number of new variants by multiplexing the sources in time.
• Each strand of video is thought of as a separate reality, and the rapid intercutting suggests the
coexistence of multiple superimposed realities in the same instance.
VARIABLE DATA FORMS (1999)
This investigation seeked to create architectonic propositions that are liquid,
algorithmic, transmissible and derived from the geometries of higher
dimensionality.
By "liquid", Novak intends a total but rigorous variability driven by data shifts in
cyberspace that can be transformed into physical world.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
12. VARIABLE DATA FORMS (1999)
By "algorithm" Novak means that the forms are never manipulated through manual corrections : rather,
the mathematical formula that generate them are adjusted to produce different results.
By "transmissible" Novak means that his data-forms can be compressed into algorithmic codes for
transmission to fabrication sites, machines or to virtual environments.
PARA CUBE (1997 – 1998)
For this project, a cuboid was defined by six parametric surfaces, each with
its own coordinate system.
The parametric equations governing each surface were arranged so that a
variation on a particular surface would cause reactions or permutations on
adjoining surfaces, effectively creating a topological cube.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
13. The parametric cuboid was manipulated to create two forms : a skeletal frame and a
smooth skin.
• Parameterization allowed the smoothness of each element to be defined and
manipulated through computational formulas
• The frame was derived from the same process, where the skin was computed at
high smoothness and the skeleton at low smoothness.
• The skeleton was then mathematically extruded into the fourth dimension by
adding a fourth coordinate to every three-dimensional point.
Thus, points became lines, lines became polygons, polygons became cubes and cubes
became hypercubes.
• The resulting four-dimensional object was rotated about a plane in four-dimensional
space according to the appropriate matrix transformations.
• The transformed object, projected back into three-dimension space, became a
space-frame of variant dimensions.
• The skin was not extruded into the fourth dimension but instead remapped to
create a rippling, non-homogeneous surface.

14. DATA-DRIVEN FORMS (1997 -1998)
These images are the result of deriving forms from fields of found data. As spatial
models, the forms explore two concepts : the delamination of passage from one
data set to another and arbitrary cross-fade (between data sets).
In the examples shown here, an algorithmic function extracted from linked Web
pages as two sets of points in the three dimensional matrix.
Using spline-based interpolation, two sets of curves were generated.
From further functions, the two sets of intertwined surfaces, or "lamina", were
formed.
A series of crossing links (cross-fades) were then enframed between the
conjoined surface-forms, producing a rich enmeshing of distorted frames and
surface modulations.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
15. HOW NOVAK’S “LIQUID ARCHITECTURES” ARE GENERATED
Composition created by a genetic algorithm. This image forms the basis of the following
investigation of the spatialization of information
New composition derived from previous one by processes of superimposition, masking,
and filtering, Information implicit in the original composition is now visible as color
variation.
Merging of algorithmic composition with scanned data, Image processing reveals hidden
patterns implicit in the structures of the component images.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
16. Variation of the image in previous stage produced by further image processing.
Although it is simply a transformation of the previous image, for the viewer this image
constitutes, in effect, new information.

Visualization of a liquid architecture in cyberspace.
Mapping information onto object and environment, varying it in place, time, and
attribute, focusing attention through filters and masks, and inhabiting it allows hidden
patterns to become visible, and therefore knowable.

character of this space, the "place" of cyberspace

19. ZEICHENBAU 2000
It originally consisted of five elements: a video
projection of forms generated by mathematical
algorithms, a physical model, fixing the fluctuating
projected virtual forms, a sculptural form created by an
infrared sensor, an interactive and generative
soundscapes weaving the three elements, and finally the
visitor himself.
The space is constantly reformulated
evanescent environment according to the information
exchange between the elements. The sculptural form
that remains one of this facility symbolizes Marcos Novak
phenomenon eversion, the transition from virtual to
reality, that of a digital architecture with built
architecture.
It was conducted through a manufacturing
process called "rapid prototyping" called LOM
(Laminated Object Manufacturing), laser cutting and
overlapping layers of material.
K.KEDHEESWARAN,M.Arch Asst,prof
20. CONCLUSION
The work of Marcos Novak has been presented here as the most accurate example of architecture
embracing new technologies to enable the creation of cyberspace.
The “Visionary Architecture” -Novak assimilates modernist theories in his utopian beliefs.-
Novak has not shown any concern in this global level. He seems to have been restraining his studies to the
manifestations of one’s mind in the realm of his/her own body.
In this sense, his creations are still very experimental and haven’t yet been conceived for an extended
medium , such as the Internet. And considering that the Internet, today, stands for a global community,
or a place where social interaction, cooperation, and shared responsibility
Cyberspace as a virtual laboratory, where the production of dematerialized architecture in the form of
principles, or algorithms, represents his new architectural visions.
Novak completes: “Today, we are witnessing a dislocation of architectural terms, such as space and action,
form and function; calling attention to the disappearance of functionalist theories and to the normative
function of architecture.”
