Class Visit 2 – Ephemeral Tomorrow

  1. Main Idea
    • Science as an exploration of universal phenomenon. Scientific Background as starting point / inspiration, discovery, research and stories => story telling and poetic reinterpretation
    • Sensing the invisible
    • Sensitive translation of Global and Local Real-time Data through sound and light. Change the scale of data and its interpretation to make it more personal, to make audience relate
  2. Space-related Works
    • Gravitational Waves – everything (visual, audio) generative using prerecorded sensor data, nothing is pre-rendered, can be easily transformed for real time data, feels “real”
    • Solaris – video projection layer solar wind, laser projection layer earth magnetosphere, combination of video and laser projections add depth. Interaction using bone transducer, more personal experience.
    • Satellarium III – ideas based on humans use stars for everything for thousands of years, but now satellites. Outdoor laser projection, can easily make the user connect with actual sky conditions.
  3. Nature-related Works
    • Epiphytes – cyborg extension to trees / woods to poetically show human about the trees’ conditions and communications scheme, making the forest alive. Also inspired by research on communication networks of trees. Polycarbonate panels as central projection structure because of their nice reaction to laser and similarities to leaves of the trees.
