Scanario: Street light to theater lights

複数(8本程度?)の見かけは普通の街灯と、それが照らす街路、住宅地の一角、商店街、または郊外の私鉄駅前を想定。

Seitinger のARライトのような色、光のエリアが変更可能な街灯を想定。

どのような操作を、どういうユーザなら行うのだろうか?

  1. 複数の別種のユーザ
  2. 1のユーザの組み合わせ(1がxxしているところに2がくる。。)の状況

を考えてみる。

Scenario:POKE

For: Housing Complex (includes open space), Park, Museum

ユーザが庭や美術館の前を歩いていると、家族にその知らせが届く。

家族は(家にある端末や携帯から)ユーザに光のpokeをすることができる。その際の色、照明の時間軸上の変化パターンはカスタマイズできる。

  • この、色とパターンは、
    • ユーザが登録していたものを家族が光らせるのか?
    • 家族が自分で作ったものを光らせるのか?
    • ユーザが登録していたもの+家族が作ったもの、の相乗的なものか?その場合、相手にそれがわかるか?
      • 時間軸があるのなら、2パターンのモーふぃんぐ
  • 同じしくみを、トリガーをユーザがひくものと考えると、改札のシナリオになる。

‘Tvor’, Jindřich Vodička,2010

Tvor (the creature) is a lamp endowed with artificial intelligence. With the help of sensors, it moves towards the darkest place in the room. It seeks out darkness relentlessly and its illuminating presence transfers the darkness to another place. Tvor is thus doomed to endless travel.

Tvor Beta made its debut in June 2010 in the Gallery of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague

“Kinetic lights” by WHITEvoid

 

“Kinetic lights” consists of a flexible arrangement of remote controllable cable winches with attached LED light modules. Each light module can be adjusted individually in height and luminance by the control software. By synchronizing position and light animation, complex shapes and light patterns can be generated within the array. Any number of winches can be arranged in any spacial configuration. Various LED modules can be attached to the system to form individual custom solutions. White, colored or full RGB LED modules can be attached to the flexible system to produce individual custom solutions.

Storm Room,Cardiff and Miller, 2009

[Artist’s website]

Have you ever found refuge from a summer shower under the eaves? This piece shows that it is not safe even under a roof. Lightening and shadows of trees surround the windows. It shows you things normally not visible, creating a storm that can really be felt.

A computer controls the flow of water, the lights, the strobes, and the fans, etc. An ambisonic sound track plays through 8 hidden speakers and 2 hidden subwoofers. The piece begins as the storm approaches, with no water hitting the windows, then proceeds to the incredibly loud, floor shaking climax. As the storm dissipates the sound of someone moving and coughing in the next room is heard and then the piece starts again. This work was created in a deserted dentist’s office in a traditional Japanese house near the city of Tokamachi, Japan as part the Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial 2009.
