Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio have set new standards for the ways in which architectural interventions find a meaning with their audience. Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio have been working as installation artists since 1979, and in 1989 began taking their theoretical play to an architectural scale.
The sterile corridor is a space peculiar to the regulatory nature of contemporary air travel. It is a featureless non-place between jurisdictions, between the place left behind and the one about to be entered, a space in which diverse travelers share the status of world citizens in limbo. 5
In their 2001, Travelogues installation at Terminal 4 at JFK Airport, New York, Diller and Scofidio believed that a technology driven interpretation of the old Burma Shave signs could transform the user’s experience far more effectively than any conventional or decorative element. The digital installation is an attempt to relieve the normal boredom of walking through the corridors at JFK Airport. In this project, Diller and Scofidio are recognizing the ways in which technology can be substituted for conventional aesthetically driven architectural interventions. This is a technique that relates to expression of the current times. Diller and Scofidio are embedding cultural meaning in their work by using contemporary technology to relate to contemporary culture.
