Scenario: Candle light

Title: Candle Light

  • イベント。Commemoration
  • 街灯の１本１本の基部にニッチがあって、そこにろうそくがあり、灯す、、というバージョンも考えられる。

Place: i)Building ii)Exhibition room or bar iii) Entrance or outside

Issue: Light which changes continuously by nature includes human existence.

Issue: Connect artificial and pilitically uncontrable concept of modern light and its enegy source and human-size candle fire.

  • Intervention
    • human can intervene in the loop
    • fire of the candle also affected even tiny flow of air at the site.   Nature and human motion effects.
    • ソウルのお寺でみた、持ち寄る光（ろうそく）
    • 持ち寄って灯すひとつひとつの光が、Media Facadeのコマに対応。

Metastasis(Spectral View) , Iannis Xenakis ,1955

Metastasis or Metastaseis (“dialectic transformations”), is an orchestral work by Iannis Xenakis, a Greek composer-architect and a major figure in the postwar development of musical modernism worldwide. He is particularly remembered for the pioneering use of stochastic mathematical techniques in his compositions, including probability (Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases, aleatory distribution of points on a plane, minimal constraints, Gaussian distribution, Markov chains), game theory, group theory, Boolean algebra and Brownian motion.

Metastasis was inspired by Einstein’s view of time (a function of matter & energy) and structured on mathematical ideas by Xenakis’s colleague Le Corbusier. The 1st and 3rd movements don’t have a melodic theme to hold them together, but rather depend on the strength of this conceptualization of time. The 2nd movement does have some sort of melodic element. A fragment of a 12-tone row is used, with durations based on the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34…)

The preliminary sketch for Metastasis was in graphic notation looking more like a blueprint than a musical score, showing graphs of mass motion and glissandi like structural beams of the piece, with sound frequencies on one axis and time on the other. In this video I tried to display this by presenting the frequency spectrum (0-20.000Hz) of the piece and how Xenakis actually “drew” music.

GE Data Visualization: Powering the Kitchen,2011

[Java App Web site]

the Kitchen

It’s 10 p.m. Do you know how much energy your kitchen appliances are using? You will, with Brillion technology, which can connect your appliances to a smart meter that you can access via your computer or mobile device. The visualization was originally developed as a touchscreen application for the Consumer Electronics Show, but now you can explore this web version to learn more about how appliances in a sample home consumed energy over the course of a month.

this data

The data utilized in this application comes from a sample household equipped with Brillon technology over one month’s time.
