The aggregator as a project. The case of BRUTHER

Lluis J. Liñán    

Resumen

This article draws an analogy between the aggregator, a digital format based on the dynamic collection of external contents, and three works by the French office BRUTHER: a theoretical project of 2018 published in the Cartha journal, its manifesto in 99 notes and the New Generation Research Center in Caen. The analogy is based on the proposals set by art critic David Joselit, for whom the aggregator is a format which, due to its omnipresence in the contemporary media ecology, transfers its logic to many other spheres, including art and creation. These logics promote the gathering of differentiated entities in a common space and surface, something which results in forms that do not exhibit defined hierarchies nor completion, but foster multiple and individualized approaches. As reflected in the manifesto of the French office, BRUTHER?s work is also established on the gathering of unique, differentiated material and imaginary references, the meeting of which seeks to mobilize new ideas and design intuitions. The works published in Cartha and the Research Center are presented here as two products stemming from this logic: architectures generated from the collection of materials of diverse origin and of level importance that, in their coexistence, feed the generation of curiosities, intuitions and spatial scenarios.
