Place and Experience: A Philosophical Topography, Jeff Malpas, 1999

Introduction: the influence of place

  • There are obvious ways, of course,  in which the environment determines our activities and our thoughts – we build here rather than there because of the greater suitability of the site;
  • -but there other much less straightforward and perhaps more pervasive ways in which our relation to landscape and environment is indeed one of our own affectivity as much as of our ability to effect.

Light Showers
Jill Anholt


A series of iconic sculptures integrated into a new park along Toronto’s waterfront visibly express the surrounding community’s aspirations to sustainability. Nine meter tall art elements display and celebrate collected and purified community storm water , lifting it from the ground to the sky where it falls as a textured veil of water into a channel that returns it to Lake Ontario. As people meander over bridges between the elements, integrated motion sensors trigger shifting light patterns in the water curtains, emphasizing the connection between local actions and distant effects.

Location: Sherbourne Park, Toronto ON
Status: Completed Summer 2011

In 1973, Beuys wrote:

“Only on condition of a radical widening of definitions will it be possible for art and activities related to art [to] provide evidence that art is now the only evolutionary-revolutionary power. Only art is capable of dismantling the repressive effects of a senile social system that continues to totter along the deathline: to dismantle in order to build ‘A SOCIAL ORGANISM AS A WORK OF ART’… EVERY HUMAN BEING IS AN ARTIST who – from his state of freedom – the position of freedom that he experiences at first-hand – learns to determine the other positions of the TOTAL ART WORK OF THE FUTURE SOCIAL ORDER.” [1]

AirSketcher: 風を使いやすくする手法の提案とその実装, 渡邊恵太,2011

http://www.persistent.org/airsketcher.html

現代の空調システムには，温度設定が部屋単位であることや人間の室温の感じ方の差など課題がある．本研究では，その解決手法としてインタラクションの観点から使いやすい風をつくりだすAirSketcherを提案する．AirSketcherは直接的で多様な風を容易につくりだすことができる扇風機（送風）システムである．扇風機にインタラクティブ性を持たせ，ユーザが意図通り風を操作可能になることで，空調に対する不満を解決できるのではないかと考えた．本研究では風を制御するインタラクション手法として風を操るかのようなメタファで風を制御するAirWand, 風を描くメタファを用いて風を制御するAirCanvas, 風を受け入れるか否かをカードによって指示するAirFlagをの3つを考案し試作した．
