Digital Biz

So I have looked a bit further into digitally interactive design and have stumbled upon a couple of examples that I thought could be modified and utilised within the Howard Smith performance space.

This first clip illustrates how digital technology is able to be utilised and manipulated to create a totally immersive and engaging environment. I think that this particular concept of digital graffiti would not only draw cultural references to the surrounding Fortitude Valley, but would also allow constant evolution of spaces through the unique artistic expressions of occupants. The performance space is expected to see quite a bit of public interaction and therefore several smaller 'graffiti screens' may need to be considered as a viable alternative.

This second video is of a 3D display in a railway station in Zurich, Switzerland. It shows a relatively simple method of achieving the illusion of a 3-dimensional digital experience through the use of layers (both horizontal and vertical) of illuminated spheres. This would have quite a significant spatil impact and could essentially be built into any flat surface within the structure. The only foreseeable downside to embedding this into the walls or floors would be that the maintenance guy would almost definately go on a killing spree if the innermost bulbs were to fail- perhaps use panels to allow access to the bulbs from all sides of the installent. Maybe consider other forms of lighting also i.e. projection.
