Looking Outwards “Infinite Space” -sehenry

This article peaked my interest in design and raised it to a new level. Art that is made by technology can sometimes be superseded by the fact that its clear that technology is behind the experience. One of the owners of Nonotak Studios, Takami, talks about how their light sculpture, “Infinite Space” is meant to immerse a person in art and in a state of fascination so that it is hard to imagine that technology is behind the sculpture. Takami and his partner, Noemi, have been trying to relate architecture, space, and sound, and fuse them into one piece of art. There seems to be 3 people working on the project currently along with Toyota and the Creators Project as well as a team of engineers. The things they used to put the piece together was a mixture of custom software scripts and probably some of the “off-the-shelf” software. The development of this project shows that the evolution of technology may well break the barrier between reality and the virtual. Currently they have one prototype called ‘Plume Version One’. Although I am unsure what they may have been influenced by to make this sculpture, it is still so fascinating to see that people are taking steps to do what many don’t try and can’t imagine.
