This project takes an age group of architects or urbanists in different locations, asks them to input their thoughts on some questions and their experiences in the context, then it creates visuals and relations between the two. The information is put online. Then as people browse through the information, where they click gains more weight in the context of the website.

A different way of looking at changing the everyday environment in where you live for its time.

‘Infinity’ is an immersive environment project by Refik Anadol. Project is a part of artist’s ongoing ‘Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments’ which is a research on audio/visual installations by using the state called immersion which is the state of consciousness where an immersant’s awareness of physical self is transformed by being surrounded in an engrossing environment; often artificial, creating a perception of presence in a non-physical world.

In this project ‘infinity’ chosen as a concept,a radical effort to deconstruct the framework of this illusory space and transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience to set out to transform the conventional flat cinema projection screen into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of visualisation by using contemporary algorithms.

Remot-IO is a system for mobile collaboration and remote assistance around Internet connected devices. The system uses two Head Mounted Displays, cameras and depth sensors to enable a remote expert to be immersed in a local user’s point of view and control devices in that user’s environment. The remote expert can provide guidance through the use of hand gestures that appear in real-time in the local user’s field of view as superimposed 3D hands. In addition, the remote expert is able to operate devices in the novice’s environment and bring about physical changes by using the same hand gestures the novice would use.

pplkpr is an app that also poses as an art piece that tracks, analyzes, and auto-manages your relationships. Using a smartwatch, pplkpr monitors your physical and emotional response to the people around you. It watches your heart beat so it can sense when youre stressed, excited or calm, then it inquires who youre with. Based on that data it uses your facebook to either repel (ex. unfriend) or attract (ex. poke) that person that will optimize your relationship.

ISOPT (In search of personal time) made a new measurement and device for personalized time. Through workshops an interface and applications were developed which allows users to set their own current time, days of the year and also how fast the time is passing. So everyone would have their own time. Taeyoon made wearable clocks where a user could set the speed at which they wanted time to pass at.

Along with the individual experience there is an interactive network for individuals to share their personalized time. On their website you can see the “consensus” time for a group of people or an individual’s personal time.

A scattered array of fifty mirror balls reflect light from three projectors, filling a room completely with small reflections, casting patterns that fill the visitor’s peripheral vision. Creating a curious space that alternates between a meditative state, and an uneasy imbalance. An experiment in combining a found object with computer vision to create a profound and unusual experience.

Displacements is an immersive film installation. Performers were filmed in the space using a camera rotating turntable in the room’s center. After filming, the camera was replaced with a film loop projector and the entire contents of the room were spray-painted white. The reason was to make a projection screen the right shape for projecting everything back onto itself. The result was that everything appears 3D, except for the people, who appear ghostlike.

To tell a transcendental story I used puppets. When making art about death and afterlife I wanted to respect that everyone has their own ideas and personal beliefs that they would cast on the story. When using puppets I remove the responsibility from myself or actors to be sensitive to those beliefs, a puppet is much more neutral than a person would be.

I controlled my puppets with magnets. I was influenced by traditional shadow puppetry that uses sticks to control the limbs, but instead of sticks I stuck magnets to the back of my laser-cut characters and controlled them by using other magnets behind the “stage” and filmed from above. and since the final product was a video I didn’t have to deal with any real time performance complexes. The magic of editing helped me out. Cheap and fast one person production.

I also know how to use a CNC router, since this post is about skills I can offer.
