Prototype Three: Adding The Digital Aspect

Having previously concentrated solely on analog materials, I aimed to introduce a digital dimension to the experience this time around. The different elements that drove this prototype were the space used, incorporation of materials within that space along with the digital element, and the creation of the data physicalization on a bigger scale. This prototype brought me one step closer to making sense of the space.

An important aspect that drove this project to unlock a new feature was the incorporation of TouchDesigner for projecting visuals. The key factor I kept in mind while doing this was to make sure the materials created, and the visuals generated would have to go hand in hand.​

Prototype Four: Reflections Through The Mirrors

The fourth prototype was installed in the same room as the last prototype but instead of utilizing the entire room, one-half of it was used. This prompted me to utilize the space in an adaptative manner and made me again make use of the space to incorporate the elements into it. I decided to try a couple of new variations this time and was excited to experiment with the mirrors and projections together. I wondered how the projection would react when displayed onto the mirrors.

Moving past the grid layout as done before, I went ahead with a distorted and displacement look. There was something quite fascinating about incorporating the mirrors and the projection as a layer on top of it. The mirrors seemed to reflect the projection in an abstract manner and distorted the image quite well. By using the wall and ceilings as a screen, I was now getting somewhere through which I could create an immersive experience.

Final Exhibition

Based on insights gathered during prototype installations, I was able to visualize what the final installation would look like. The immersive experience has been designed considering the room’s dimensions, placement of analog materials, and projectors to let visitors explore the space while engaging with the dispersed elements.


Upon entry, visitors encounter the mirrors mounted on the wall, offering them an opportunity for self-reflection that symbolizes their visibility under surveillance. Placing the mirrors at different heights on the wall has been done specifically for two reasons: enabling visitors to easily reflect on their own image, through the lower mirrors, while moving around. Secondly, placing some of the mirrors higher up signifies the strategic placement of CCTV cameras in urban spaces hence creating a noticeable sense of observation. The deliberate placement of the mirrors on the wall in front of the entrance has been done to let visitors encounter their reflection first and then stumble upon the live feed projected on the opposite wall.

 

Visitors upon entering the space become active participants in the installation. The expression of this concept can be seen in the projected imagery of the live feed of visitors in the room, taken by the web camera placed in one corner. This has been done to highlight the theme of invisible surveillance; prompting visitors to contemplate their presence within the space.
