'The development of Vortic’s capacities since 2020— witnessed by the cinematic quality of Live / Archive’s user experience, the sophistication of its handling of light and shadow and the routes taken through a 3D exhibition, optimised with the latest artificial intelligence tools—is a testament to Oliver Miro’s long-term strategy for the platform. Vortic was built with its own custom software, optimised for the requirements of art exhibitions—rather than relying on the industry gaming engines such as Unity or Unreal—with the primary focus on the quality of object and image capture and display.'
'Working through the Live / Archive platform is to be reminded of the importance of what the great British architect Edwin Lutyens called the "fall of light". Likewise of the advice that another 20th-century titan, Louis Kahn, gave to architectural students at Pratt Institute in New York in the 1960s, inspiring, among others, the late visionary artist, playwright and designer Robert Wilson: "Students, start with light."' — Louis Jebb
