Spacetide

Abstract

An interactive installation who visualise the activity in space. Viewable on a screen, play a computer animations of a water surface from stormy to calm depending on the amount of people.

Concept

This is the documentation book for the interactive installation «space tide». The idea was to visualise the activity of people, who are interacting in a room by an interactive installation. To visualise this activity I choose the movement of water. So the animation gets as active as people who are the the same space. With sensors at the door, I was able to get the information, how many people are actually in the room, so that a computer with software programend in Director, were able to choose the right animation.

The book was made afterwards to document the work in a proper way. The technical equipment of the installation was used to guide the viewer graphically trough the book. In 14 pages I explain the main aspects of the installation, like idea, theoretical background, construction and realisation, scenarios.
