From 1997 through 2011 he served as the Architecture Critic for The New Yorker, where he wrote the magazine’s celebrated “Sky Line” column. Goldberger began his career at The New York Times, where in 1984 his architecture criticism was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism, the highest award in journalism. He is the author of several books, most recently Why Architecture Matters. He is now at work on a full-length biography of the architect Frank Gehry.

Sift Studio/adam FURE: Hover is a study in perceptual thickness. Space, sound, light and matter are crafted not as separate layers of a multi-media project but as tangled strands of a multisensory knot. A base of cotton batting that is stretched, burnt, and painted carves a series of compressed passageways. This same physical source is sonically sampled, spliced and amplified. Sensors tracking movement alter details in the sound, using presence and touch to thicken the acoustic air that hovers throughout.
