RESEARCH PROPOSAL: COLOPY+CHANG
(in partnership with Peter Miller + Dong-Ping Wong)
Agenda: Mood
Mood conveys information – about an individual, about an individual in relation to a larger group, and about cultural values. We intend to take the concept of a mood ring and apply it to a spatial response – that an individual’s “mood” can animate architecture and that the amount of movement communicates what that mood is.
The mood ring measures mood through body temperature. Here, mood will be measured through color input with the idea that the colors you wear are indexes not only of an individual mood, but also of social custom and cultural tendency. For example, do architects at the final show mostly wear black? Can this project actually produce a mood? Might architects begin to question their choice in clothing relative to our larger culture?
Guidelines:
Movement occurs in a field rather than a surface
The field is a registration/index of an individual, producing unique output
Movement produces shifts in color/density as a registration of mood
Output is an abstraction rather than equivalent representation
Produce a catalogue of collective responses, preferably through the same medium
RESEARCH PROPOSAL: NON-BINARY INPUT DEVICES
Research sensors that detect color to produce a differentiated response in the movement of the piano wire as a result of the processing code.
Initial Prototyping Goal:
Understand the way in which the sensor receives input and the code required to process variable rather than binary input.
When a black piece of paper is placed in front of the color sensor, little movement occurs in the piano wire. When a white piece of paper is placed in front of the color sensor, the piano wire moves a greater amount.
Research Contribution Goal:
UN Studio has spatialized information through printed graphics. However, this production was only a representation, fixed in both space and time.
Our project seeks to move beyond static representation by utilizing physical space to convey information collected and updated in real-time.

your initial goal sounds really good: well-defined and manageable. Exciting!!
Is it an input device? or an output device?
