Invited by the INM (Institute für neue Medien, Frankfurt) to contribute to an event named
MEDIENKÖRPER in Frankfurt, this project deals with the architectural side of the
body-environment dialectic. Translated to the object-space relationship, the project
included a three step iteration of statements fed into an associative structure. The first
iteration included reacting to statements isolated from their context and such creating a
new contextual meaning for them. In a second step, the created associative field could be
walked, while the system registers all movements on the users within it. The third
iteration included a translation of the collected memspace-data into an audiovisual,
three-dimensional space that could be navigated by the visitor. The space available in the
installation has no boundaries since it folds back into itself as soon as a boundary is
encountered. Moving within the structure creates a feeling of being within a reading
machine and lets the user compose its own thread of associations and stories. All
movements again, are tracked and exiting the spatial (InWorld) system brings the viewer to
an object-oriented (Outworld) view of the structure that he has just been walking.
Il video presenta un progetto di installazione interattiva realizzato per la Fiera del
Libro di Francoforte. Uno spazio virtuale viene formato in tre fasi successive e permette
all'utente di navigare all'interno di uno spazio di lettura con la possibilità di
collegare liberamente i testi e creare le proprie storie. |
