[m.o. #3] Process

Probe 1- Fog in a box

Focus in this probe has been how to make boundaries in an endless space, through dynamic light projections.

The concept is to create walls and roofs inside the fog and how it reacts to the user presence.

Dry ice and a ventilator have been used for creating fog inside the box. By projecting light and colors through the fox, it created an interesting play with the barriers and frontiers, and a more human wall interaction.

Creating boundaries in space full of fog with colors is also an attempt to create interaction with architectural structures, and how it would react to the human, once the structure is projected through fog.

It is also about the making of a passage through the fog, where you will feel a bit disorientated and starts to look for navigation sign, which the colors and light will provide.

Making use of holography inside the box, is an attempt to create a specific space for the user, but in fact it is an illusion.

Probe 2- Making of a structure for light, snow and fog filtering

Design is made in Rhino/Grasshoppers and a scripted curve is lofted, rotated, flattened, and added a grid. Through Rhino nest the shape is made more smooth.

Adding contour in Rhino nest allowing the shape to be sliced in many ways

A solid slice is chosen because its abstraction as a membrane, which covers it surroundings, just as fog. A more radial sliced shape is also made, because of the filtering, which allows light to enter and fog to pass through.
