At Home in the Modern World

Pop!Tech Conference

Pop!Tech is a big-ideas conference in a small Maine town that brings together leaders and innovators from science, tech, education, and entertainment for a three-day conversation among 600 people. This year's central theme was "Brilliant Accidents, Necessary Failures, and Improbable Breakthroughs."

Pop!Tech is held at the height of fall each year at the Camden Opera House in midcoast Maine, but the conference spills out into the small streets. The town green hosted this installation from the London-based design research studio, Loop.pH. Entitled "Archilace," the structure was designed as an antidote to traditional, rigid architecture and built using traditional textile processes. The firm sees imagines adapting the process for everything from lightweight, vertical, urban farming frames to emergency relief shelters.
