behaviour, software<br \/>\npredominates over hardware in the creative<br \/>\nsphere. Process replaces product in importance,<br \/>\njust as system supersedes structure.\u201d<br \/>\n(Roy Ascott, 1968)<\/p>\n<p>They argued that mathematical physics obliterated knowledge of nature&#8217;s<br \/>\nheterogeneous richness as it ignored first-hand experience of natural<br \/>\nprocess in favor of mathematical calculation.<br \/>\n(Roberts, 2004)<\/p>\n<p><strong>i-500 conceptual Basis<\/strong><br \/>\nThis document outlines the Design Concept for the i-500 and describes the work in progress to\u00a0establish an interactive entity that inhabits the Minerals and Chemistry<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Precinct. The i-500 will be\u00a0evolutionary in form and content, it will be responsive to the activities and occupants of the new\u00a0structures, and generative in form.<br \/>\nThe i-500 explores the potential generated through the translation of the dynamic data from physical\u00a0and social interactions within the building into a volatile and evolving interactive art work. The phrases\u00a0below express some of the key sentiments being explored through the artworks development, these in\u00a0turn reflect the process that will be encountered within the building.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">\u2022 PROCESS &#8211; Process-based \/ Evolutionary \/ Responsive \/ Interactive: An audio\/visual work\u00a0that permeates and echo\u2019s through the fabric of the building.<br \/>\n\u2022 COMPOSITE &#8211; The building is a composite of research processes \u2013 multilayered &amp;\u00a0multidimensional.<br \/>\n\u2022 ORGANIC &#8211; The building breathes with the research environments enveloped in a lung-like\u00a0apparatus.<br \/>\n\u2022 ALCHEMICAL &#8211; transformative processes \u2013 the buildings QUEST to explore the unknown.<br \/>\n\u2022 SCALE &#8211; the visual and acoustic language of scale will be a key element of the work.<br \/>\n\u2022 SYMBIOTIC &#8211; relationship between the building and inhabitants.

The\u00a0current focus of the project team is to identify key technical components to enable the art work. This is<br \/>\nto ensure that the art works requirements can be built into the architects plans with minimum impact\u00a0on the build and as smooth an installation as possible.<br \/>\nIt should be noted that, although the projection, sound and computer systems are an extremely\u00a0important (and expensive) component of the i-500, they are really only the peripheral mechanisms\u00a0used to make the art work accessible to its audience. The work itself will exist independent of the\u00a0technologies used to make it seen and heard. As an evolving, dynamic and interactive software and\u00a0network the project team anticipate the i-500 generating subtle and emotive experiences that\u00a0transcend the pragmatic considerations of this document.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>i-500 context<\/strong><br \/>\nVisual representations do things: they can sit quietly and be observed; they may aid in the\u00a0performance of some activity, let&#8217;s say, in science; they may act as repositories for previously\u00a0compiled information; they may, through the format of their presentation, guide users or\u00a0readers toward new ideas, or new practices. In science, and in chemistry particularly, visual\u00a0representations are vital components of the material culture of practice.<br \/>\n(Cohen, 2004)<br \/>\nTaking a simple narrative of the litmus test as a basis for the interactive visualisation of research data.<br \/>\nThe artwork will be a real-time visualisation of the function within building 500. The artworks potential\u00a0is to represent the visualisation of quantitative scientific research as part of the architectural\u00a0environment. The visual and auditory function of the artwork reveals to the scientists a qualitative\u00a0experience of their research. The enriching experience can be gained over time through cumulative\u00a0exposure to the artwork in the central foyer and the echo stations. The work also has the potential to<br \/>\nfilter through individual computer screensavers creating an audiovisual reverberation of the work that\u00a0can spread between buildings. (The work will respect all privacy considerations regarding the\u00a0collection, storage and presentation of all data and dutifully comply with all relevant University and\u00a0Government policies in this regard).<br \/>\nData information gathered from the BMS, the NRI super computer and other accessible sources will\u00a0be translated and transposed through customised forms of pattern recognition software to become the\u00a0substance that generates the real-time artwork. The artwork allows for human interaction that explores\u00a0a sense of scale encouraging the user to reconsider their perceptions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>i-500 physical work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Making visible the invisible\u2026<br \/>\nThe conceptual underpinning of the presentation of the artwork centres on the revelation of the\u00a0dynamic generative data rich research environment that would otherwise be invisible. With this\u00a0approach we aim to convey the sense that the artwork is physically revealed by peeling back the skin\u00a0of the architectural surfaces giving the feeling that the artwork is an integral part of the building which\u00a0in its own distinct way describes the buildings purpose by reflecting its research activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Ceiling Projections<br \/>\n\u2022 Two video projectors will project onto the atrium ceiling 12 metres above floor level. The\u00a0projectors will be mounted out of site within the soffit space beneath the Level 3 walkway.\u00a0They will project horizontally out of small apertures onto mirrors that tilt the image 45 degrees\u00a0up onto the ceiling. The mirrors will protrude slightly from the perimeter of the walkway. The\u00a0two images will be approximately 4 meters x 3 metres in size and visible from all key vantage\u00a0points within the atrium. They will have the potential to display a wide range of interactive\u00a0behaviours determined ultimately upon the most appropriate technologies applicable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Atrium Soundfield<br \/>\n\u2022 Surround sound speakers will be strategically placed at points on all three levels Which will\u00a0allow the creation of 3-D soundfields to accommodate spatialised sonic positioning of the\u00a0content. This will allow greater auditory understanding of the research.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Echo Stations<br \/>\n\u2022 Approximately twelve independent echo stations will be placed in public areas (not lab areas)on the various levels linking from the foyer. These will consist of flush mounted LCD screens\u00a0with stereo sound. and have the potential to display a range of interactive behaviours. Some\u00a0of these Echo Stations will have the capacity for independent operation (i.e. a networked\u00a0computer embedded behind the screen), allowing greater intimacy through interactions with\u00a0audio visual information. Echo stations will therefore require access to network and power\u00a0points, and their recessed housing will require sufficient ventilation to ensure the computers do\u00a0not over heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Screen Savers<br \/>\n\u2022 The visual content will be available for users to download to their personal computer\u2019s or\u00a0PDA\u2019s. This will enable the work to further \u2018infest\u2019 or infiltrate the fabric of the building and\u00a0peripheral vision of its inhabitants. Such systems will encourage individuals to engage with the\u00a0work through casual interactions and reinforcing the sense of an evolving dialogue without\u00a0creating the feeling that the work is an imposition on their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Core<br \/>\n\u2022 The Core processes and manipulates the dynamic data generated by interactions with the\u00a0Echo Stations, the screensavers and mobile phones etc, as well as information provided by\u00a0the Building Energy Management System, network hubs and the Super Computer. This is\u00a0essentially single server networked to the Echo Stations etc, or possibly a cluster of small\u00a0computers with specific functions (sound, visualization, etc) that are networked together.<br \/>\nThese will need to be housed in a small but accessible location (possibly the standard server\u00a0room). Physical access should be minimal as the server(s) will be controlled through network\u00a0remote access. The Core will generate the visual material for the Echo Stations and the\u00a0projection system, as well as provide the majority of the audio for the surround sound system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Dr Paul Thomas:<\/p>\n<p>Artistic Director BEAP 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth.<\/p>\n<p>Suite 3, Enterprise Building 3,<\/p>\n<p>11 Brodie Hall Drive,<\/p>\n<p>Bentley 6102<\/p>\n<p>Western Australia<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Malcolm:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Curatorial Manager,<\/p>\n<p>John Curtin Gallery,<\/p>\n<p>Curtin University of Technology<\/p>\n<p>GPO Box U1987<\/p>\n<p>Perth, 6845<\/p>\n<p>Western Australia<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Phillips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Director of i-DAT<\/p>\n<p>Institute of Digital Art and Technology<\/p>\n<p>University of Plymouth,<\/p>\n<p>Drake Circus, Plymouth,<\/p>\n<p>PL4 8AA, Devon<\/p>\n<p>United Kingdom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 i-500 project from Paul Thomas on Vimeo. i500presentation &nbsp; i-500\u00a0Presentation &nbsp; \u201cWhen art is a form of behaviour, software predominates over hardware in the creative sphere.
