Tracing Home

In the era of networked technology, we appear to live in an integrated global community where human relations and perceptions are conceived through various manifestations of a non-physical world of connections. We collectively build and spontaneously find refuge in virtual communities whose inhabitants experience incongruity and fragmentation, along with conformity and wholeness. The interplay of physical and virtual within our lived experience opens up portals and wormholes enabling simultaneous and discontinuous realities at the touch of a button, echo of a voice, or nudge of a sensor. The new dynamics not only reconfigures our relations with ourselves and with one another, but most importantly, it reshapes our sense of identity, belonging, and place.
As the line between the virtual self and the physical self blurs, as our engagement with the world becomes less dependent on the physical space, and as we simultaneously reside in a multitude of deterritorialized ubiquitous places, what happens to our understanding of home?
The SIGGRAPH 2011 Art Gallery: Tracing Home, seeks exceptional digital and technologically mediated artworks that explore issues around the concept of home in the networked age. Explorations may include but are not limited to examining current functional, structural, cultural, emotional, or metaphorical definitions, or constructing new realities, experiences, and meanings.
All forms of digitally mediated art completed in the last two years are eligible for submission. International projects, multimedia installations, three-dimensional works, and kinetic, mobile, or interactive pieces are highly encouraged.
Works submitted to Tracing Home will be reviewed in a jury process, and the selected work will be exhibited at a gallery space at SIGGRAPH 2011. In addition, selected works will be published in a special issue of Leonardo, The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology.
Artists and scholars are also encouraged to submit proposals for Talks or Art Papers that address themes related to the exhibition.

模型製作階段

因為投的是概念設計類
原本只有自然光的概念沒有具體的產品
這著實讓我傷透腦筋...
我想讓喜歡這個idea的大家都可以擁有這道自然光!

我們做了模型!
雖然 red dot design concept 是不用做模型的
但是我跟明璋討論後
我說...我可以用電腦建3d模型去模擬光
但是 我覺得 只有真的光 才真的可以打動人

有著一雙巧手的明璋
果然靠著一股" just do it !"的衝勁
做出了我們設計的prototype


Prototype
我只能說...這實在是太強了!
從無到有...線路 透鏡 馬達 打光...
全部都是他自己慢慢摸索出來的! 果然是明璋!!!
接下來就是到了產品外觀設計的階段!
因為 Form 和 Funtion 都很重要
我想呈現的 是一種精品的感覺
設計師 或 大家 都會想要收藏
所以...我們開始改造再進化! Evolution!
Evolution
Evolution 2
一起找材料 一起討論造型 一起盡力完成它
在最後的階段 雖然很辛苦
但是 我們做到了! ^^

我這"藝術總監"只能說我要什麼照片 和感覺...幸虧有超讚的攝影師明璋 把我們的模型照的美美的 才讓我能排出最終版

很幸運的 評審們似乎還滿意這概念 ^^

自然光 Anature Light
藉由這道光 自然而然的去感覺 時間 空間 和這個世界

Light
The most important element for people to sense the environment

Have you sensed the nature in a natural fashion? The sun rises and sets as usual. The moon wanes and waxes. Four seasons alternate regularly. All creatures go around with light changed by time. With the advancement of technology, we rely heavily on the clocks and weather forecast to tell the time and predict the weather. By contrast, we have less chance to feel the nature as we used to. When time is told by machines, people lose contact with nature. Their capability of sensing the nature is fading.

你曾自然而然的感受這個世界嗎?
日出而作 日落而息 四季的變化 這些 對我們而言是多麼習以為常的自然現象

然而...因為科技進步 漸漸的 我們開始大量的仰賴科技
工商業社會的繁榮 使人們必須長時間被困在建築物中 與世隔絕
我們不知道時間過得如此快速 更不知道外面是晴是雨

我們需要一扇窗

Anature Light

這道光
自然而然的 存在這個空間 做為室內外聯繫的介面
This project presents a concept –Space Hyperlink. We designed an installation to open up a new direction of intervention for human isolated from buildings and places. This work, inspired by the nature variation, attempts to design a light installation— Anature Light. We also did some research on this concept. Our goal is to help people feel the nature (the changing of time and phenomena) more naturally! Space Hyperlink provides a novel and tangible interaction between human and nature in response to “Space Hyperlink.”
