Acts like drawing, writing, visualizing, and building must deal with invoking a world where human innovation can be protected from the Leviathan. - Javier Arbona</p></em><br /><br /><p>
Originally launched at WUHO Gallery in Los Angeles earlier this year, but now on display at Studio-X New York, November 1-26, 2013 the exhibition "<a href="http://www.jordangeiger.com/Very-Large-Organizations" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Very Large Organizations (VLOs)</a>" by architect Jordan Geiger, introduces design research on the architecture and human-computer interactions.</p>
<p>
To accompany the opening at Studio-X New York, <a href="http://archinect.com/javier" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Javier Arbona</a> penned an "<em>An Unsolicited charter for the Very Large Organization</em>", in which he clarifies the potential of architecture for illuminating the <strong>extrastatecraft </strong>and "<em>Geographical imaginaries</em>" of VLOs.</p>
