4D-Pixel
4D-Pixel is a smart surface which physically reacts to your voice, music and shows relievo letters. This interactive sculpture is a merging of electromagnetics, software and electronics. The dynamic of the wall is made of hundreds of pixels which react on the dynamic in soundfrequencies.
This way there is a direct relation between the human activity and the appearance of the surface; in this fusion between body and machine.
Date:
2004/ 2005, Enschede/ Rotterdam.
Client:
Initiative of Studio Roosegaarde.
Specs:
Electronics, software, electromagnets and other media; 3 x 1 x 2 m.
Artistic production:
Daan Roosegaarde
In collaboration with:
Axis & Stuifmeel Techniek (partner in technology) and Peter de Man (partner in sound & interaction).
With thanks to:
KITT Engineering (electronics) and Lukas Pauka (intern). Made possible with the support of Fonds BKVB in Amsterdam, foundation tART and CBK Rotterdam. Movie by Ward ten Voorde.
Comments:
"4D-Pixel is about how to create a direct human intervention in architecture, not about electronic circuits or mechanisms; how can space be adaptive to the needs of its users. This cutting edge approach is being further developed as an interactive element for a public building." From R-echos (see links below).
