Güvenç Özel is an architect, researcher and artist, who has been preoccupied with creating responsive environments, some with emotive control. His Morphogram work proposal for a quadrocopter actuated surface/roof responding to human form, movement, sound and emotions (EEG). It is a responsive environment bordering on being a wearable.
Although the visual feedback of the surface is there, I wonder if this would come into play when considering the activation of the body schema.
Bruce Nauman’s Live-Taped Video Corridor is a installation consisting of two montitors at the end of a corridor each featuring a video feed. The upper video feed captures the user from behind and diminishes as he or she walks towards the monitors, the bottom monitors show pre-taped footage of the same corridor, only empty.
The installation is eerie in several ways: In attempt to see herself on the top monitor, the user only ever sees herself from behind walking away from the camera eye. Oppositional movement as walking towards becomes walking away. And attempting to see the image motive clearer, makes it shrink. The bottom monitor which appear as an image, has edited out the user altogether.
