...Asymptote--otherwise known as Hani Rashid, 45, and Lise Anne Couture, 44--the ultimate challenge is connecting the digital world to the one we actually live in. The firm has attempted this with several projects, and perhaps its purest piece of digi-tecture is the Guggenheim Virtual Museum: an Internet-only gallery that would enable art lovers anywhere to swoop through interlocking coils and interact with the Guggenheim's collection of digital art.
