Enhancing spatiality

Winka Dubbeldam

pp. 152-161

Abstract

From Hardware to SoftForm is a 3D digital interactive installation of an "armature" exhibited in the Frederieke Taylor Gallery in Chelsea, NYC (Sept. 2002), and the "Art & Idea" Gallery in Mexico City (Sept. 2004). It investigates the transformation of the virtual object into an environment of light, speed and sound. Sensors, or triggers, in the interactive floor, developed by MIT Media Lab, activate the projected construct as a dissection of an organic unit that expands, contracts and envelops. The interaction challenges the relationship of the viewer and the object, constantly re-investigating its "object-ness." An ambiguous animated environment ensues, enveloping the visitor and the gallery's confines.
