Augmented Sculpture – Grosse8 & Lichtfront

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

While not fully explored the use of projection as a temporal medium over static surfaces/datums always holds my interest. Similar to our Orleans Parish Model this sculpture uses projection to bring surfaces to life. The image correction used works extremely well to map the projection across the sculpture. (originally from ...

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.

The issue comes up that the projection itself can create the re-contextualization but developing a framework that keeps the object ...

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 ...

Tagging the landscape

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Tags and labels are a big part of understanding and cataloging the vast amounts of data we encounter everyday. Tagging not only allows us to search data more efficiently but it also allows individuals to collectively organize and sort information. If you are unfamiliar with the tagging of information you ...
