      • Place and Space pp175
        • Yi-Fu-Tuan: “Space is movement, place is rest”/ Space is the anxiety of global indifference; place is the comfort of local malleability
        • Architectural phenomenologist Norberg-Schulz “Space is alienation; place is identification
        • Urban planner Edward Relph “Space is an ordering of understanding; place is an ordering of experience“
      • Place and Placelessness
      • Place and Community p181
        • 1
        • city walls
        • rusticated
        • 2
        • Edward Relph, place and placelessness. 1976
          • “Places are defined less by unique locations, landscape, and communities than by the focusing of experiences and intention onto particular settings”.p141
        • thus while we can speak of the identity of a place, we must also admit identification with a place.
        • Space lies outside the walls, or outside the social sphere, but the experiences of place occur inside these seen and unseen boundaries.

COLORS & CLOUDS

Minatomirai Station, Yokohama (2004)

To coincide with the opening of the Minatomirai subway line, NTT developed a media system called the Mirai Tube. Camera sensors pick up the positions of people as they move about the station concourse, and those positions are in turn expressed as visual feedback. The system was planned as a new advertising medium.
NTT commissioned four groups of artists/designers to create works using the system to be shown in the exhibition in the tube at the Minatomirai station concourse in Yokohama. Living World was one of the groups, and created two works: COLORS and CLOUDS.
