E-Static Shadows — Making the Intangible…Tangible
Do you think architecture can make you connect with your own static energy? Well, the project E-Static Shadows found a way to do just that. In the video below, you will see how designers have taken a cross-disciplinary approach — ranging from Jackson Tan of Square Lab, to Prof. Zane Burzina from Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee and all the way to an international panel of researchers ranging from a NASA scientist in the United States to a material scientist based in London.
When watching users engage with this project, their behavior is quite different from the behaviors you typically see relating to most other interactive designs. With E-Static Shadows users move their bodies in more peculiar ways as they try to “feel” and “create” those charges that will activate this unique design.
Fusing Textile Practices with Technology
This experimental research project merges unique ways of thinking between both textile practices and more state-of-the-art technologies. It is great to see a pushing of the boundaries in this way. Seeing static energy in motion, and in real-time, should inspire other designers to Read more
