The search of the magical and poetical fascination between performers and audiences


The last few weeks have been dedicated to the research of holographic projection techniques. Starting of with the use of a special holographic gauze called Holo-Gauze by Holotronica Ltd to projections onto haze and steam.

Being fascinated and very interested in the use of stage lighting and visuals, I feel that the next step forward is the use of holographic and virtual/augmented reality content. Lights can create an atmosphere but can they also tell a story? The hologram is based on light but it becomes almost a performer itself.

I am currently trying to take the “simple” projection to the next level by adding interaction. Making the hologram react to individuals or even become a copy of myself that I then can start to have a conversation with.

My first project called the “PhoneBox Waltz” and set up in one of the iconic red telephone boxes, got positive feedback by random people passing by and staring to react and interact. A fascinating magical illusion was created by something unusual happening in an unusual space. I will continue to research towards this idea of the magical fascination and illusion.

Next project ideas are the “Genie in a bottle”, the “Live-Sculpure” and the “Eye on you”.

The interactive element – the communication between the audience and the performance –  will keep being an important research part.

Wood Urbanism

Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
