Installation Research: 1

Mike Allison, Firewall

Mike Allison's Firewall is an interactive media installation made with stretched out sheet of spandex acting as a membrane interface. Being depth-sensitive, the membrane reacts when users push into it, creating changing visuals and expressive music. When the sheet isn't pushed , nothing happens but when the user pushes it, the music gets louder or softer, faster or slower, depending on how far deep the membrane is pushed.

Cuppitelli and Mendoza, Nervous Structure (field)

Excerpt from original website: "Nervous Structure (field) is an interactive installation that consist of a wall-mounted sculpture containing hundreds of vertical and parallel lines made of elastic cord that are projected upon with a computer-generated, interactive animation of a similar number of lines"

The user's interaction with the piece is interpreted by a computer, surveying their actions and creating a visual motion, influencing the computer-generated lines while the physical elastic cords remain still.

Numen/For Use, Tape Florence

blends architecture and public installation art.  The sculpture-like pieces are large in scale and take over whole public spaces while also reinventing them, changing the way in which they can be occupied and changing the experience of the interactions between participants.

Roman Ondak, Measuring the Universe

Ondak's Measuring the Universe

The work  began as a completely empty white room. After three months, the room had been filled with a dense black band of names and dates. There had been approximately 90 000 participants over the few months that it had been an exhibit. "Through the simple action of measuring oneself, Ondak’s work doesn’t just expand on ideas of space and the universal but also the personal, creating a growing living artwork that questions just what a museum is for."
