Installation Ideas

Here are a few ideas we had for the project in Montreal.

Proposed articulation by RPI students (Emily, Laura, Cory and Karen)

Darcy, Przemek and I wanted to work with this serpant like structure and add an interative aspect to it. To do so we propose that a series of capacitive contacts be attached to the floor as well as the extension pockets of the pneumatic wall system. The series of contacts on the floor will be activated when viewers walk over them, this will then trigger a relay that activates air pumps attached to the extension pockets. The result would be a system that reacts to the viewers within the space.

Darcy, Przemek and I also want to incorporate sound into the pneumatic system. To do so we propose that the microphone part of a "spy ear" (a tiny microphone that attach to headphones) be attached to the wall. The headphones will then be attached to the users and as the users pass through the space a certain amount of feed back noise will be created if they come too close to the wall.
