Embedded Interaction Workshop, Master of Design (Interaction Design), Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 2019.
PURPOSE
The installation was designed for an exhibition titled ‘Interactive Proxemics’ and our objective was to design a space with both sociofugal and sociopetal elements. A space that brings people together, but also allows seclusion and privacy.
CONCEPT
The Sentient Corridor is a living space that senses the presence of visitors and their touch upon the fabric walls. The moving fabric conforms the space around the visitors, which create places that are confined and private, and other places that are open and social. The physical environment merges with the acoustic environment, as the visitors can change the music by interacting with the fabric. Thus, it invites the visitors to a sensory dance within an immersive and responsive soundscape that both bring people together and push them apart.
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
Concept, design and construction; Responsible for all coding in Pure Data.
