Object and Its Meaning- Affordance by James Gibson
July 7th, 2008A Study of Cognitive Models/Perceiving Information through Environment
Indebted to both the advance of informational technology and post war affluence, now we are in the age of the real abundance; we obtain almost everything we need, both information and material. However, it is also true that there has been an increasing people's awareness of the better organizational managements to lead the resources less redundant.
As all knows, one of successful management respond to the social situation in the current technology is Google's search engine program. The Google's success vividly shows the idea of the social need for eschewing the abundance and complexity of the availability through the emergent technology and now the question occurs; how could be architecture response to this social change derived of pervasive computation?
Here I started making a list of cognitive study models that would be helpful to this type of procedural architectural design.

Silt Scanning
June 20th, 2008does architecture need to be very disciplined or detailed? in architecture, good presentation is consequential. I assume that, a lot of times, we have been trained how to legibly draw the reduction of 3-dimentional space. In a previous study of 4dimentional space design, all the "drawings" was reduced in the form of animation thusi am just curious about how we can manage to presnent, in 2d, this new dimentional architectural product.

wording what i am trying
March 26th, 2008Feedback system -through attending today's David class-
Charles and Rob are working on a kinetic output based on the units having their own internal connection with each other.
So with a sound input, I would like to focus on effecting this output by enhancing and diminishing its behavior like a volume control, or putting a variation in their behavior so that it possibly produces our own solution for manipulating the state of 2 separate spaces. I have made 3-4 prototypes and compared them to really understand different sensitivities of sound data based on different methods. I hope that this could possibly control the sensitivity of our project itself.

Conceptual Model

Conceptual Model, originally uploaded by thetarbre.
We would like to manipulate a special organization by creating a certain behavior of a partition panel based on its internal connection.
Units change their transparency through reading vibrations creating each other. (Piezo Element)
As the tool for reading ambient noise, the microphones would be set up in two separate rooms.
When analyzed and interpreted, this incoming noise data would act as a master control of the state of separate rooms by possibly enhancing or diminishing the behavior of the panel overall.

March 14th, 2008The basic configuration of the Piezo element is shown here:
>>code
Listening to each other -revealing materiality through the vibrational interaction of each component-
We hope to make the interaction among each component of our output that would require a relatively small scale of input from each. So in parallel with working on sound input (that would be sensing a wider range of presence), the exploration of output based on input of the Piezo element would be good to start with.
Raw Piezo Element.
I heard that microphones are made of piezoelectric film. Those piezoelectric sensors consist of a small piezoceramic plate and electrode and are generally used to detect strain or very slight force changes. When bent, they produce varying voltage within a relatively ready-response.

HYPOSURFACE
March 3rd, 2008
The piece Hyposurface is a facetted metallic surface that has potential to deform physically in response to electronic stimuli from the environment (movement, sound, light,etc). Driven by a bed of 896 pneumatic pistons, the dynamic 'terrains' are generated as real-time calculations.
The piece marks the transition from autoplastic (determinate) to alloplastic (interactive, indeterminate) space, a new species of reciprocal architecture.
The Aegis Hyposurface effectively links information systems with physical form to produce dynamically variable, tactile 'informatic' surfaces. Aegis is perhaps the world's first such dynamic screen.
Any digital input (microphone, keyboard, movement sensor) can trigger any physical output (a wave or pattern or word.)

Some of the most exciting scientific research deals with the brain, illuminating the mind's enigmatic inner-workings. Scientists are learning more about the complex network of operations that govern behavior, morality, language, spirituality, memory, perception and intelligence. These responses to outside phenomena often overlap, forming the layered judgments and reactions that texture experience. New technologies have also helped us to gain access to the space inside our heads, the center of consciousness, spirituality, sense, and illusion. We are learning, more and more, that the brain is indubitably the most intricate and mysterious territory of the human body. But what do artists have to say about the brain?
Exhibition features work by: Suzanne Anker, David Bowen, Steve Budington, Phil Buehler, Andrew Carnie, George Jenne, Daniel Margulies and Chris Sharp, Fernando Orellana and Brendan Burns, Jamie O'Shea, SERU, Devorah Sperber, Naho Taruishi, Dustin Wenzel.
Part of the BRAINWAVE NYC festival. BRAINWAVE asks how art, music, and meditation affect the brain and offers countless answers in more than a hundred public events, ranging from an exhibition of contemporary art and a cinema series to cutting-edge concerts, performances, talks, and panels.
This "only in New York" cultural festival is organized by six New York nonprofit organizations: Rubin Museum of Art, Exit Art, Science & the Arts at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, The Philoctetes Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, and the School of Visual Arts, in association with the American Museum of Natural History.
