Working on our new aquarium (have you checked back? they are growing nicely…) reminded us of this collaboration with Paul Elliman from a few years ago, a proposal for an identity for the Vincent Award.
Do Ho Suh’s new science fiction project The Perfect Home opened last night at Storefront for Art and Architecture (and will be open until December 7). His project proposes a home situated on a floating trans-Pacific bridge, halfway between New York and Seoul. We designed a 9-minute video loop which shows 16 years of global ocean current movement, drawn from NOAA's OSCAR satellite remote sensing project; as well as Do Ho’s own flight patterns over the years. About 64 million data points are represented. The screen alternates among four different ways of displaying the data, including waving lines, breathing eggs, spinning discs, and 95 kinds of pop currency...

All Points is a proposal for a small set of unofficial wayfinding and orientation points physically embedded in New York’s urban fabric, each about the size of a person’s hand. Each small display will be based on the same networked computing platform, set of content genres, and special stochastic pixel matrix. But as well as bearing location- and time-specific content and vectors, the shape of each display will be custom fabricated to fit or patch a unique local condition – a form appropriate to a mutable city of patches, reuse, and myriad pedestrian practices, and an argument that locative computing need not itself be mobile in order to engage mobility.

Linked by Air dabbles in the demoscene/makes a realtime responsive 3D environment/ok, disco light show. The volumes are deciding on their own how to respond to the music a DJ plays. Cast onto a big holographic scrim at the Architectural League of New York’s Beaux Arts Ball, in the Three Legged Dog theater.
Proposed content and design for an LED display in the through-block lobby of the Metropolitan Tower, New York. Some of the designs respond in realtime to people’s movements and their relationship to the architecture: panes of color appear whenever a pedestrian crosses a crack between wall panels; moving waves appear from either end of the lobby whenever one of the revolving doors moves.

We designed and programmed eleven different interactive mirrors to decorate Prada’s Soho store. They’re in the store now if you visit. As a vendor to 2x4. Closer look: we posted an HD version of the movie (MP4, 290mb).
Online interface that visualizes the winds measured by the off-shore buoys around the US coast in real time. The user types in a buoy ID number to add a representation of that buoy to the display. Clicking anywhere on the blue background generates words (“shift”) that serve as “bobs” to gauge the overall prevailing field of wind forces, as they are visibly blown around the screen depending on the current wind configuration.
