Elements
USA 1998, (4')
Elements is the project for an interactive digital media science theme park for the next
millennium. The purpose of the project is to explore new ways of creating exciting
interfaces between media and the physical environment. The design of this hypothetical
theme park is based on the exploration of air, fire, water and earth through the use of
digital media. Four pavillions, one for each element, have been designed to represent
actual structures. The structures cuold be built in the future, after certain high
resolution digital display screen technology has been developed. These screens, which are
due to be available within the next ten years, will be one quarter of an inch thick,
flexible and large enough to cover entire buildings. The project is sponsored by the Art
Center College of Design in Pasadena (California). Computer Animator: Carlson Bull,
assistant to the animator: Mike Magruder.
Elements è il progetto di un parco scientifico digitale interattivo per il prossimo
millennio. Scopo del lavoro è di esplorare nuove possibili interfacce fra i media
digitali e l'ambiente fisico (aria, fuoco, acqua e terra). Il progetto prevede quattro
differenti padiglioni, uno per ciascun elemento, in cui vengono utilizzati schermi
digitali flessibili ad alta risoluzione in grado di ricoprire interi edifici. Il progetto
è sponsorizzato dall'Art Center College of Design di Pasadena (California). |
