| summary |
This paper introduces a research project of a kinetic apparatus that translates collected air quality data to users. The kinetic mechanical skeleton is embedded with processors and electronics, and constantly changes its form according to air quality data collected online via a web crawler. By translating invisible environmental conditions, such as air quality data into morphological, colorful, and acoustic changes for the device, the participants can be aware of the phenomenon of air pollution in real time. The interac- tions between participants' movements and the changes of the device imply how human behaviors can affect the state of the atmosphere. As a result, the device evokes public awareness and participation in environmental issues through tangible experiences. This research aims to explore a new kind of responsive architecture that acts as a medium between invisible environments and inhabitants. |
