The Reaction

Post the Barbican exhibit [mentioned below] I began thinking about how a simple information relay could be applied to my project. The siting within the nuclear fallout idea [previous posts] was a tangent that began to take ideas into a limited direction. As the three renders are landscapes within themselves, the issue of siting is there already. Furthermore by the end of the project a smooth process needs to be apparent.
S suggested spatializing the landscapes in order to test out relationships within each [cliff, forest,swamp] and as a collective. The eventual change in each site is hazy still but I am learning that not every step needs to be pre-determined. So, going back to Hemmer's exhibit, the ideas of humans tuning the space/surrounding audio could easily be translated to the tuning of any surrounding landscape. Necessary elements would be: factors [people in the room, temperature,
movement, shadow], a warping device [a system that would read factors and allocate a prescribed rule of change], this change then would trigger the landscape to distort.


The previous post mentioned an interface called Reactable, a demo below. The factors that make up the interface are incredibly simple. A good model to follow when producing my own system.
