Noriyuki Fujimura 5/10/11 7:29 PM
ソウルの家。博士セミナーがおわった
akiko matoba 5/10/11 7:32 PM
どうだった？
Noriyuki Fujimura 5/10/11 7:33 PM
ステートメント（最初の導入、全体の意義を説明するところ）にまだ難がある。けれど、もうプロトタイプを作り、その結果をステートメントにフィードバックするようなやりかたをすべき。
5/10/11 7:34 PM
プロトタイプについては、僕のアイデアの場合、対象とするものが空間なので、てのひらサイズのプロトタイプを作るような場合とは、やりかたが違ってくる。
5/10/11 7:35 PM
意見をもとめたところ、１）リンツにあるアルスエレクトロにかセンターにつながりがあるので、プロポーザルを出す（ここには、建物の全面がLED照明になりコントロール可能になった美術館がある）
5/10/11 7:36 PM
２）小さな規模を考えるとすると、この学科がはいっている建物（レストランやスポーツジムと共用になっている）を使って試作してみる
5/10/11 7:36 PM
というのが稲蔭先生の意見
5/10/11 7:37 PM
先週のミーティングでも同じ意見があったのだけど、今の東京の夜の照明の状況に対してのコミットメントはないのか、という意見が学生からあった。
akiko matoba 5/10/11 7:41 PM
否影先生は
5/10/11 7:42 PM
稲かげ先生の意見は、
5/10/11 7:42 PM
煮詰まってそうだからとりあえずなんか作ってみて経験値を得よ。
5/10/11 7:42 PM
という話なんじゃないの？
Noriyuki Fujimura 5/10/11 7:43 PM
そうだよ
akiko matoba 5/10/11 7:43 PM
今の東京の夜の照明の状況に対してのコミットメント。これはCreativeに世の中にどう貢献するかという点において指摘はごもっとも。
Noriyuki Fujimura 5/10/11 7:43 PM
東京の照明デザイナーが先月末にそれをテーマにした会議をやっている。
akiko matoba 5/10/11 7:44 PM
で？
Noriyuki Fujimura 5/10/11 7:53 PM
結果は知らないけれど、これからあるべき照明デザインを話したようだよ。
5/10/11 7:53 PM
僕は、東京の夜。。。については、大学の校舎を使うプロトタイプで考えてみたいと思う。
5/10/11 7:54 PM
そこに来る人が、どのくらいの明るさを望むのか？
5/10/11 7:54 PM
今
5/10/11 7:54 PM
高速道路もそうだけど、その場所の管理者が責任をもってつける消すを決めている。
5/10/11 7:56 PM
安全のことを考えると、それは正しいのだけど、住民がみずから自分たちのための照明環境を作り上げられるチャンスを提供するのもデザイナーやアーティストのひとつの立場だと思う。（それが技術的に可能なら）
akiko matoba 5/10/11 9:11 PM
可能でしょ！
5/10/11 9:11 PM
明りに人が何を求めているかを考えてみたら？
5/10/11 9:12 PM
安全性・Guidance・印・弔い・安心・
5/10/11 9:12 PM
色々でしょ。
5/10/11 9:13 PM
「文化から派生する必然」もしくは「代替」の延長線上になければ、きっと定着しないUXなのではと思う。

５月６日　小林さんから

おつかれさまでした。もしかして質問の番が来たら、と思って書いておいたメモですw。他の方の質問と重なる部分も多いので、特にお返事は不要です。

Thank you very much for talking about visions and backgrounds of your project. But for me, still not a little bit unclear ‘what’ are you trying to propose. Are you going to propose an ‘ad-hoc’ (or a hack) for existing lighting systems in cities, or trying to totally change whole lighting systems?

Since now people in Tokyo are interested in light especially in nights, might be a good chance to evaluate in the real world even if in small numbers of distributed lights. I mean, there might be ways to don’t depend on ‘social capital’ (i.e. citizen oriented or glass roots approach).

Another question: You mainly talked about ‘lights’ but you can also make ‘shadows’ by LED lights. Combinations of lights and shadows might be interesting. How do you think abou this idea?

Thank you for your presentation. BTW, a lighting installation in Tokyo by Semitransparent Design might be also your reference in art/design context.

Thesis statement, May 5th, 2011

Thesis Statement Draft, as of April 9th, 2011

The urban media lighting is a medium consists of physical devices such as LED light, mobile phone and networked sensors combined with mobilephone network to connect users. This combination of hardware, software and service should be a part of public service. (What)

It supports social stability/sustainability to resolve a weakness of urban spaces built based on modern urban planning theory which lacks attention to keep, maintain and forge social ties of its users.  (Why)

We can find different types of urban space where social ties between its inhabitants are in danger. Among places, we focus upon the places where different type of people come across in daily basis such as Station, Shopping mall, Park, etc in emerging city areas such as suburban new-town or boundary where new city is about to concur old city. (Where)

The users of those places are not likely aware of existence of each other since they just moved in or in a situation like groups of people with different demographics are juxtaposed without given proper contact points and occasions. Or improper urban planning even weaken existing ties and make familiar people unfamiliar.They might feel anxiety ’cause they see xxxxx and at least urban design could not help them effectively so far.(Who)

The urban media lighting system provides shared experiences between them with a combination of physical device -user may see modified street lights- and network service -for users it is  just a mobile phone- situated on site. It gives interaction between members of user in two ways. First the system opens its access to the lighting to users of the site to invite them for participation. As wants and desires of the users from different group of users cross and conflicts on the lighting, the system embraces the conflict, and give the users chances to overcome it.  (How)

When needs of different user conflicts, interaction (needs more detail. What circumstances and /or situation->what) happens.When social ties are weaken, the (When)

  • Why: Social Capital is a buzz word
  • Where: You’ll need at least 3 examples and (an) elaboration
  • Who:　誰？姿が見えない。記述が浅いから
  • Why:　どのような問題が起こっているのか
  • How:　どのように救われるのか
  • How:　どんなインタラクションが起こるのか？
  • 言い換えが浅い

Post industrial city, where major economic change threaten existing community and needs of rebuilding of community arise.

 

•Where strangers are come and go becomes place to get to know and share time in lives.
•Hence make social capital of the area up.
• It will support formation of Social Capital, which normally handled by non-artifact ways. On crossing points, those who are living different area come across. Media….will make negative mood of such a place to positive..
•Hence the system will increase
•Urban media lighting should be a part of public service which government should provide (add to ‘what’)
•プロポーザルでは結論がでそうなフレームが示せればよい。Thesisが価値を示せること。
•1)crossing points where these users periodically come across.

Urban Media Lighting/Open Light

[Street Light(Wikipedia)][ガス灯][Gas Lighting(Wikipedia)]

•The urban media lighting is a medium consists of physical devices such as LED light, mobile phone and networked sensors combined with mobilephone network to connect users. This combination of hardware, software and service should be a part of public service.

 

•It supports social stability to resolve a weakness of urban spaces built based on modern urban planning theory: lack of attention to keep, maintain and forge social ties of its users. We can find different types of urban space where social ties between its inhabitants are in danger.

 


1)In Situ
2)You’ll turn the light
The world has changed to be safer after we get street lights.
Change urban space, again.
This is a photo of old street light. When street lights came to urban space, it ad changed word became a bit safer, After 100 years, with network and sofisticated lighting components, what if we can turn on.off the lights by ourselves? This is my starting point. If we design relation between us and street lights once again, we may change the urban night scape, once again.

[Familiar Stranger(Wikipedia)] [Familiar Stranger Project, Eric Paulos]

•This is for the place where different type of people come across in daily basis such as Station, Shopping mall, Park, etc in emerging city areas such as suburban new-town or boundary where new city is about to concur old city.

 

•The users of those places are not aware of each other’s existence because they just moved in or in a situation like groups of people with different demographics are juxtaposed without proper contact points and occasions.

 

•Or improper urban planning even weaken existing ties and make familiar people unfamiliar.

 

SO how it can be useful beyond temporary use of public equipment? People in modern urban space have a number of different issues these days. Considering the situation of where and how streetlight are located/stationed, As arc light hits climinals, This open light can tacke into one of these issues.

•The urban media lighting system provides shared experiences between them with a combination of physical device and network service situated on site. It gives interaction between members of user in two ways. When wants and desires of them cross and conflicts at the site, the system embraces the conflict, and give the users chances to overcome it.
•How an interactive lighting system solve such problems? This is the challenge of this research.

Here I show 2 modern examples of evolution of urban light scape.
1)2)
New technologies are coming up. My role is combine those components to be a system to affect our life in urban space.
The challenge is….

Pulse Room, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, 2006

Pulse Room in Aarhus, Denmark,2009

Pulse Room 2006

About 100 (analog/classic) light bulbs are hung from ceiling of the installation site.

The bulbs plays a sequence of blinking. Every singe bulb represents and actually repeats heartbeat of past participants as 1 by 1 correspondence.

Sequence of how new participant joins is as following.

One of audience grabs a handle which heartbeat sensor is embedded.

It takes a short while until the sensor stabilize its readout. When it is done, whole order of pulses of bulbs shifts 1 (the oldest is now gone). And the new beat joins.
