Ruth Murray: Staging Space

Staging Space: 

Scenic Interiors and Spatial Experiences 

This books featured futuristic work using advanced technology. They relate to Danusha’s idea of a screen with moving digital tiles since all involve an interactive experience requiring the viewer to physically engage with the work.  

Klein Dytham: Bloomberg ICE

“Bloomberg ICE”,

 Japan, 5.0m x 3.5m

This pure white screen suspended from the ceiling is about communicating information:  The viewer can process and play with data in a very hands-on and enjoyable way by selecting and moving it around the screen. Infrared sensors behind the glass wall detect a person’s presence from 500mm away before they even touch the glass.  Its smooth, curved design is modern and stylish for a public space.

 

Random International: You Fade to light

This interactive installation is a myriad of mirrors that translate the spectator’s reflection into light. When individual mirrors detect movement, they react by fading from a mirrored surface to pure light. This explores and develops the traditional concept of a mirror, and provokes dialogue between the viewer and their image.

Antivj: 3 Destruct

This large, semi-transparent cube generates light and sound as a person walks through. The darkness and atmospheric effects means the individual feels completely immersed in the installation, losing their bearings and sense of space. Moving through an all-encompassing piece of work to experience it fully would be suitable along a corridor or walkway in the new building.
