Colorspace is an interactive sculpture that translates text messages into breathtaking animations of colored light. It was created by Sosolimited & White Wing Logic over the course of a few months. When you send a text message to a specified number, the tubes will illuminate along the walls with the color of the corresponding text message. I think this is done through some system of data query. For example, sending a red lipstick emoji will result in red lights being illuminate sequentially along the path.The indoor installation that aims to bring a playful vibe to a community as well as increase community ownership over a space. The tenants of the community are encouraged to stop and interact in a common shared space. The interaction is not only fun but also serves to build and strengthen the users emotional stakehold in that space. The user is in many aspects, communicating with the building in an elegant manner that reinforces positive notions of that community space. This concept can be applied in a multitude of mediums and across a variety of spaces in the present and future, but it seems best suited to be placed in spaces where users have a lack of or no emotional connection to, but spend a significant portion of their time. Other applications could include schools and workplaces.
