Hyper-learning and Unlearning: A Narrative Speculation on Urbanism in Media Ecologies

Abstract

Hyper-learning and Unlearning is a speculative animation that reflect how learning is reconfigured within digital media ecologies. Using architectural education as a microcosm, the work reframes the city as a hyper-learning apparatus where urban space, algorithmic systems, and platform infrastructures condition cognition and agency. By staging both hyper-learning and the unlearning induced by machine-supported cognition, the work critiques institutional gatekeeping while revealing how platforms reshape expertise, memory, and spatial experience. This project invites viewers to reconsider how urban space becomes pedagogical infrastructure in a posthumanism era.
