PARALLELS

“Parallels explores light as a material, but this time the space as a whole becomes their screen.( Reference to Daydream installation series) The boundaries and notion of space, become abstract as the audience crosses the room, but in doing so, the audience also affects the space by breaking the light. This installation is strongly connected to the space in which it takes place; it lives within it. But as soon as the light hits the walls that define the space it reaches its limits and stops reproducing itself. The installation is also inspired by Anthony Mccall’s exploration of light and space.”

PORTA ESTEL-LAR “An immersive light and sound installation inside a plane.”

“Through the creation of visual and sound sequences that suggest the idea of interstellar travel, we make the audience fly to outer space in an intense six-minute trip, from departure and takeoff to the sighting of comets, planets, galaxies, crossing nebulae and visiting alien worlds, until finally returning safe to earth"

JackIn Space

Second of two posts covering the fascinating work of Rekimoto Lab in the field of telepresence.

This project lets users alter perspective from first to third person in an environment made up of various depth cameras and fitted HMDs:

Traditional telepresence systems only supported first person’s view and users had difficulty in recognizing the surrounding situation of the remote workspace. The JackIn Space concept addresses this problem by seamlessly integrating the first person’s view with the third person’s view. With a head-mounted first person camera and multiple depth sensors installed in the environment, the surrogate user’s first person’s view smoothly changes to the out-of-body third person’s view, and the user who connects to the surrogate user can virtually look around the environment. The user can also dive into the other remote user’s first person’s view to look at the environment from the different perspective.

THE ARK “A site specific installation by Romain Tardy and Squeaky Lobster Proyecta Oaxaca, Ethnobotanical garden of Oaxaca, Mexico

Concept & Visual design by Romain Tardy Music composed by Squeaky Lobster Project management & production by Nicolas Boritch

The Ark is a site specific installation, commissioned by and presented during Proyecta Oaxaca, festival de diseño y artes digitales.

The Ark is built around the cacti that line the Aljibe, at the heart of the Ethnobotanical Garden of Oaxaca.

Adopting a poetic approach, The Ark gives voice to the garden’s plants, participants in the work, the beating heart of the space and an unpredictable choir.

Telling their story, revealing their fantasised and fantastical character, The Ark is the mise-en-abîme of the trail. A three part audio-visual installation, it unfolds like a movie set in space, in which the wandering spectator plays the role of the camera.

More info at antivj.com” -- I visited these ethnobotanical gardens in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2014 - it was great to hear the story behind him and how artists share roles with gardeners about how it is designed, as well as learn of the amazing biodiversity of the region.  (A few of my photographs of it feature in this music video ) 

Pretty amazing to see this reworking of it at night though : )

Storytelling through playful interactions

Installation by agency Dalziel + Pow demonstrates how experiences with interaction and projection can work well with screenprinted illustrations made with conductive ink:

As part of our presence at the inaugural Retail Design Expo, we have created a space to stand out from the crowd, a conversation starter: experimental, innovative, playful, integrated, exploratory and, to many visitors, surprising. 

… Screen-printed illustrations spring to life when touched, as conductive ink triggers a host of playful digital animations – a mix of informative and charming content, from product information to brand stories to chasing ducks.

Pushing the boundaries of storytelling within a space, making it fun and engaging, putting ideas before hardware.

A total of 48 interactions and over 100 unique animations make up the broad spectrum of content on the stand, from simple sound toys to more complex exchanges that layer projection mapping and movement around a physical space.

Tangible Media

MIT’s Tangible Media is coming along nicely,

"Almost like a table of living clay, the inFORM is a surface that three-dimensionally changes shape, allowing users to not only interact with digital content in meatspace, but even hold hands with a person hundreds of miles away. And that’s only the beginning."

Gorgeous little sculpture. That movement reminds of the Creation Cinema installation - on permanent exhibition at Melbourne Museum.

Water Imitated by a Wood Automaton by Dean O’Callaghan.

This mesmerizing object is an automaton made by Dean O’Callaghan. It’s designed to look like a drop of rain hitting a pool of water. As he turns the crank, concentric rings of water emanate from the center. O’Callaghan attributes the idea to sculptor Reuben Margolin.
