Linyl

Interesting project from the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design that captures sound and light into a piece of vinyl, or linyl. As a person who has defined much of my experiences with associated music or sound I find that the merging of visceral and aural senses to be fascinating. The light becomes an abstraction that gains meaning with the musical accompaniment.

Vectorial Elevation – Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

Vectorial Elevation is a new piece by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer that toys with the concept of collaborative environmental art. Light sculptures are constructed with 20 robotic searchlights controlled by a three dimensional interface.

Great representation of augmented reality on Vimeo. Found the video through a post on Mammoth.

Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.

The video speaks to a change in how we conceptualize the built environment, specifically architectural surfaces and products within that environment.

Jeffrey Huang, professor of mine from the GSD, has an interesting talk at the LIFT Asia ‘08 conference. I find it most interesting that Jef is always searching for interactive methods which change our social interactions within the urban fabric. The projects he showcases use specific analog/digital relationships that contest a users spatial perceptions.

An interesting presentation to watch especially in relation to our focus on environmental phenomena.

Reading Space

The Sensing the Landscape class in the fall semester produced such great amounts of thought regarding what elements are unique in sensored landscape spaces. There are fundamental pieces that are necessary to explore further in regards to scale, perception, and emergence.

It is interesting to find the results of sculptors creating convincing and interesting landscape that provokes context sensitivity which is user based. As landscape architects we strive to design landscapes that have direct connections to relevant ecological systems. In Roosegarde sculptures it is the user is the nascent system that the landscape bends and responds to.
