What do you want to make?

I want to suggest a physical experience of the Web by creating an IRL exhibition space, conceived on the model of a user Web window interface (SpaceWidth & SpaceHeight = WindowWidth & Windowheight). In the same way as a cursor, the spectator can move inside the space and can resize it by pushing or pulling a movable wall fixed on some rails/wheels (SpectatorX/SpectatorY = MouseX/MouseY). Changing the size of the exhibition space could also undirectly affect various display factors such as the lighting, sound, projection format, information layout, etc. In this work, the space(s) is/are the main subject(s) to reflect on and to experience.

How do you plan to make it?

While working with Arduino and Rasperry Pi, my strategy is to start from the smallest and most simple prototype, and gradually increase the scale and technicality until reaching human scale (see: prototyping). By creating movable wall(s) fixed on rails and attached to distance sensors and Wi-fi transmitters (see schema), I am creating an elastic space that will react in a more or less predictable way to the alterations engaged by the User/spectator and its own movments within this space. (see: simulation)

Why do you want to make it?

In opposition to the physical exhibition space, the Web offers to each of its user/visitors a custom point of view based on an innumerable and everchanging array of technological factors. Among them, we could list: the browser, the device, the explotation system, the screensize, the resolution, the user configuration and defaults settings, the updates, the IP adress, etc.. This complexity diffracts the possible renders of a same Web page in an almost infinite array of perspectives. Despite of this, I believe this range of perspective can be explored with very basic interactions such as resizing, or zooming in and out a Web Window. By creating a physical interface space conceived on the model of a responsive Web page, I first want to give to the visitors the power to aknowledge and manipulate this spectrum of perspectives and to consider the role and effects of this mediating technologies on our own user/vistor experience, behaviors and interpretation, both online and and in phyiscal exhibition spaces
In its early ages, the Web borrowed terms and objects from the physical world in order to make its own concepts more familiar to its users. Now, largely democratized and widely spread in modern society, I would like to reverse the process and get inspired by the concepts deriving from Web, in order to facilitate a new experience and understanding of the physical exhibition space. By merging these spaces properties, (sustainable vs obsolete; rigid vs elastic; digital vs physical; etc), they will reflect on each other and coincidentally invite the users/spectators to reflect on their own agencies inside of these spaces.
Conceiving the exhibition space as a Web interface, and the spectator as a user is also about puting together two layers of reality that are too often clearly opposed(IRL VS Online). This is about experiencing their ambiguities, similarities, and differences. It is about reconsidering their modalities by making them reflect on each others. (see: Reversing the desktop metaphor)
More generally, it is about reflecting on media itself, and deal with the following paradox: The better a medium mediates, the more it becomes invisible and unconsidered. ( see: Mediatizing the media). This makes me want to give spectators more occasions to focus on what is containing, surrounding, holding or hosting a representation instead of giving all its attention on the representation itself.

Relation to previous practice

During the first part of my previous studies, I have been gradually questioning the tools, formats and language that I was simply supposed to use as a graphic design student. As part of my previous graduation project, I wanted to reflect on the status of networked writing and reading, by programming my thesis in the form of Web to Print website. Subsequently, this website became translated in the physical space as a printed book, a set of flags, and a series of installations displayed in exhibition rooms that were following the distributed structure of my online thesis (home page, index, part 1-2-3-4) link. As a first year student of Experimental Publishing, I continued to work in that direction by eventually creating a meta-website, a geocaching pinball, triggering unconsidered Web events, as well as a Web oscillator reacting to the user screen-size and cursor position.

Introduction

[...]

Question(s):

What are the agencies of a user inside a Web interface compared to a spectator inside a museum/gallery? (related to part I Agencies, contexts and experiences of the spaces of representation)
To what extend does the technological, political and architectural context of a physical exhibition space affect the spectator's experience and interpretation of artwork(s)? (related to part 2 eversing the desktop metaphor)
How could a physical experience of the Web could educate us about the role and effects of Web interfaces in our own behavior and ways of consuming text and images?
How does the language and mechanics of the interfaces (responsive, user-friendly, etc) could be adaptated to a physical space of representation.

[...]

I. Agencies, contexts and experiences of the spaces of representation

1. THE AGENCIES OF USERS & SPECTATORS

What are users and spectators allowed or expected to do and agree on.

1.1 The user agency through the Web

1.1.1 Terms, conditions, agreements

Cookies, privacy, legal uses, advertisment, copyrights, etc

1.2 The spectator agency through the Exhibition Spaces/Museums/Galleries

1.2.1 Rules, safety, regulations

Artwork safety, public safety, prohibed items, public speaking, photography, equipments, behavior, circulation, etc. Maybe even more than on the Web, being a gallery/museum visitor implies to agree on terms and conditions.

example: Louvres Visitors rules: https://www.louvre.fr/en/visit/museum-rules

2. CONTEXTS ()

What are the spatial, technological, political and architectural factors that are together define the context in which the representation and its spectator(s) are situated.

2.1 Technological context of the Web

2.1.1 A network of factors / Technological contexts / Point of views

On the Web, the render/display of same Web page is always slighly different from a user’s to another. It depends on the technological and spatial context in which each user in situated. This context is made of many factors, such as the device used, its configuration (addons/plugins/custom settings/luminosity/scale), the IP adress, the browser used, its versions among an almost infinite list of other parameters. All theses factors added together creates a very singular context to which the Web and its contents are forced to adapt.

Ref:

What you see is what you get — Jonas Lund (2012)

2.1.2 Elasticity, obsolescence and unpredictability / Responsive technology

In that sense the Web materiality is sort of elastic (see: plasticity), which makes it singularily different from most physical objects or achitectures. Added to that, the display and functionalities of a website are also affected by the constant evolution of the Web itself, with patches, updates, expired and added elements that contribute to the ephemerality and unpredictability of what can be seen.

In order to overcome the impredicatability of rendering online interfaces among the incredible diversity of connected devices, a technology of flexibility has been developped, improved and democratised on the Web.

2.2 Technological contexts in the museum/exhibition space

2.2.1 Space and agents of the production of knowledge

Architecture, scale, size, interior design, colors, layout, writing, arrangement, lighting, display, etc

Stéphanie Moser, 2010. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: MUSEUM - Displays and the Creation of Knowledge Doc. 1st ed. Southampton, England

2.2.2 Institutional critique (optional)

Questioning and redifining the exhibition spaces and the heritage from the White Cube by the institutional critique practice (?)

II. Reversing the desktop metaphor

The desktop metaphor was invented in the early ages of computers for facilitating the use and understanding of the digital interfaces, by making mental associations related to domains from the physical world. Now democratised, widely used and quiet often replacing our needs to converge in physical spaces, I would like to reverse the process by getting inspired by the concepts of the Web interfaces in order to suggest a singular experience and understanding of the physical exhibition space who is awell another space of representation.

1. CONCEPTS OF THE PHYSICAL INTERFACE

Conceiving the exhibition space as a digital Web interface

Ref: The screenless office - Brendan Howell (http://screenl.es/)

1.1 "Architectural Device"

Conceiving the architecture as a technological and political device made of a set of factors and parameters

1.2 "Physical Events"

On the Web, our actions and inactions can be converted into (silent and invisible) events that can give activate things and be converted into valuable informations for advertisers, algorythms, etc. How could such thing be conceptualized inside an exhibition space.

1.3 "Programmed physical space"

Comparing the programming of an interface with the curation of a exhbibition space. Could an exhibition space be programmed?

1.4 "Exhibition User"

Conceiving the Spectator as a User of the physical space

1.5 "Variable Display"

Conceiving the physical space as an elastic/variable and potentially unpredicatable display; in order to diffract the range of viewing contexts offered by the Web.

Conclusion

Online, the thesis could be displayed differently and contain more or less words/informations/images depending on the user/reader technological context (device used, operating system, browser, screen size, IP adress, etc).

What is my work, What do I want to tell, What is my position

Notes from Michael

"Bring attention to the systems underlying artistic productions" both on the Web and the physical world
"reversal of the desktop metaphor" (using the virtual as "concrete" to metaphorically understand a physical exhibition space), what will be the future of an exhibition space... (is already working exhibition spaces working with sensors) scary and fascinating at the same time...
"my embracing/use of sensors isn't about proposing these techniques as a solution / ideal / about control... interfaces requiring less and less from us but paradoxically extracting more and more from us"
every small unconsidered behaviour is being used (trying to used)...
there is unpredictable.... because of all the factors, want unexpected things to happen...
the reality of digital isn't all about precision and control, this notion of surprise is key for an experience.
Exploring the fullness of digital / programmed / computational media, including those "edge" cases / the "glitch" ... the surprise... Examples from museums: (for instance Brussels has the MIM Museum Instrument Museum, sadly the old now retired interface was a system with headphones that were activated in the space, so as you approached vitrines with a violin you would here a performance of that instrument)...

Software Art

User viewing contexts (on the Web) from special issue 13

Description

Create motion from the diffraction of the user interface which offers flexible and almost infinite possible renders of a same Web page. The sensible variety of user viewing contexts tells about the placiticy of the user interface. This is the result from the wide range user devices, window or screen sizes, Web browsers, (as part of many other parameters). A first of movement capture and montage of the user interface placticity can be as part of the post-production of my interpretation of the esssay "Tense", part of the Special Issue 13.

Capturing and puting into motion the User interface placticity

Trying to play around with the Browser window resizing in order to create a playful animation decidaced be a thumbnail of the project. The two first screen capture will be the basis of the upcoming motion. I will first try to smooth the window movement and make the two screen capture fit togehter before synchronizing them and looping them.

Prototyping

Arduino

Early sketch that is about comparing and questioning our Spectator experience of a physical exhibition space (where everything is often fixed and institutionalized), with our User experience of a Web space (where everything is way more elastic, unpredictable and obsolete). I’m interested about how slighly different can be rendered a same Web page to all different users depending on technological contexts (device nature, browser, IP address, screen size, zoom level, default settings, updates, luminosity, add-ons, restrictions, etc). I would like to try to create a physical exhibition space/installation that would be inspired from the technology of a Web user window interface in order then to play with exhbitions parameters such as the distance between the spectator and the artwork, the circulation in space, the luminosity/lighting of the artwork(s), the sound/acoustics, etc etc etc.

Distance between wall behind the spectator and the artwork has to be translated into a variable that can affect sound or light in the room. Wall position could be connected to the dimensions of a user interface in real time with arduino and a motor.

Create a connected telemeter with an Arduino, a ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) and a ESP8266 module connected to Internet

It seems possible to create your own telemeter with a arduino by implementing an ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04
By doing so, the values capted by the sensor could potentaialy be directly translated as a variable.
Then with the ESP8266 module, the values could be translated on a database on the internet. Then I could enter that website and see the values from anywhere and use them to control light, sound or anything else I wish.

Where to buy the ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04)

Getting started

During a workshop, we started with a very basic fake arduino kit, a led, a motor, and a sensor. After making a few connections, we got to understand a bit how it works.

   #include <Servo.h>
   Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo
   int pos = 0;    // variable to store the servo position
   int ldr = 0;    // vairable to store light intensity

   void setup() {
   Serial.begin(9600); // begin serial communication, NOTE:set the same baudrate in the serial monitor/plotter
   myservo.attach(D7);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
   }

   void loop() {
   //lets put the LDR value in a variable we can reuse
   ldr = analogRead(A0);
   
   //the value of the LDR is between 400-900 at the moment 
   //the servo can only go from 0-180
   //so we need to translate 400-900 to 0-180
   //also the LDR value might change depending on the light of day
   //so we need to 'contrain' the value to a certain range
   ldr = constrain(ldr, 400, 900);

   //now we can translate
   ldr = map(ldr, 400, 900, 0, 180);

   //lets print the LDR value to serial monitor to see if we did a good job
   Serial.println(ldr); // read voltage on analog pin 0, print the value to serial monitor

   //now we can move the sensor accoring to the light/our hand!
   myservo.write(ldr);      // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
   delay(15);    
   }

Split Screen Arduino + Sensor + Serial Plotter + Responsive Space

Trying here to show the simutaneous responses between the sensor, the values, and the simualtion.

Arduino uno + Ultrasonic Sensor + LCD Display Experiments

Now that my arduino kit and sensors arrived, I will be working on a series of first experiments in order to understand how sensors work, how to optimize them, and how to display the values on the LCD screen display that was part of my starter kit.

Sketch 1: One sensor

For this very simple first sketch and for later, I will include newPing library that improves a lot the ultrasonic sensor capacities.

Sketch 1: Arduino Uno + Sensor

 #include <NewPing.h> 
 int echoPin = 10;
 int trigPin = 9;
 
 NewPing MySensor(trigPin, echoPin); //This defines a new variable
 
 void setup() {
   // put your setup code here, to run once:
   Serial.begin(9600);
 }
 
 void loop() {
   // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  int duration = MySensor.ping_median(); 
  int distance = MySensor.convert_in(duration);
 
  Serial.print(distance);
  Serial.println("cm");
  delay(250);
 }

Sketch 2: Arduino Uno + Sensor + LCD (+ LED)

All together from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOwB57UilhQ

Sketch 2: Arduino Uno + Sensor + LCD

Sketch 3: Arduino Uno + Sensor + LCD + LED

  #include <LiquidCrystal.h>
  
  LiquidCrystal lcd(10,9,5,4,3,2);
 
 const int trigPin = 11;
 const int echoPin = 12;
 
 long duration;
 int distance;
 
 void setup() {
   // put your setup code here, to run once:
     analogWrite(6,100);
     lcd.begin(16,2);
     pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
 pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input
 Serial.begin(9600); // Starts the serial communication
 
     
 }
 
 void loop() {
 long duration, distance;
   digitalWrite(trigPin,HIGH);
   delayMicroseconds(1000);
   digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
   duration=pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
   distance =(duration/2)/29.1;
   Serial.print(distance);
   Serial.println("CM");
   delay(10);
 // Prints the distance on the Serial Monitor
 Serial.print("Distance: ");
 Serial.println(distance);
 
     lcd.clear();
     lcd.setCursor(0,0);
     lcd.print("Distance = ");
     lcd.setCursor(11,0);
     lcd.print(distance);
     lcd.setCursor(14,0);
     lcd.print("CM");
     
     delay(500);
     
 }

From this sketch, I start considering that the distance value could be directly sent to a computer and render a Web page depending on its value.
Note: It looks like this sensor max range is 119cm, which is almost 4 times less than the 4 meters max range stated in component description.

   }
   else
   {

I brought a second arduino, 2 long breadboards, black cables, another LCD screen, and remade the setup on this format. For some reasons the new LCD screen is not going in the breadboard, and I need more male to female cables in order to connect it correctly. With this longer breadboard, I want to extend the range value system, and make it visible with leds and sounds.

[Soon] Sketch 6: Arduino Uno + 12 LEDS + 8 Sensor + Buzzer + Potentiometer + LCD

[Soon] Sketch 6: Arduino Uno(?) + Sensor + LCD + ESP8266

The goal here is to interconnect a web page to the ultrasonic sensor values in order to make a user web window dimensions react to the evovling dimensions of the exhibition space.

About the ESP8266 module

The ESP8266 is a microcontroller IC with Wi-Fi connection, it will allow us to connect the arduino to the internet so we can get the values obtained from sensors received directly on a self-hosted webpage. From this same web page, it would also be possible to control LESs, motors, LCD screens, etc.

Introduction

PAD

We will organize 2 moments of shared work in progress: one in October, one in November. It is not necessarily a presentation, but more conversation-based in order to practice the "making public act". Speak about our work, conversations with people about it, and people talking about our work.

Venue 1: Aquarium

Description

AQUARIUM 1.0

A Small Ecosystem for Living Thoughts

Monday, 11th October
19:30 – 21:30
Leeszaal Rotterdam West
Rijnhoutplein 3, 3014 TZ Rotterdam

with Clara Gradel, Floor van Meeuwen, Martin Foucaut, Camilo Garcia, Federico Poni, Nami Kim, Euna Lee, Kendal Beynon, Jacopo Lega and Louisa Teichmann

It’s oh-fish-ial! Students of the Experimental Publishing Master invite you to dive into their small ecosystem of living thoughts. Join us for an evening of conversation, discussion and new view points. If you look closely, you might even see some early thesis ideas hatching. Let's leave no rock unturned.

Observation questionnaire

This exercice is a very small, humble and almost 100% analog exercice questioning representation in two small steps.

1st step

photo of a brick

1st step: I give a sheet of paper to people during the venue and ask them to answer a series of questions concerning the object (brick) that is being displayed in the middle of the room on a podium. It is specified to them that they can be anywhere while observing this brick and in any position. Here are the quesitons:

Please write down your first name:

Describe your position (sitting/standing/other):

Describe your location in the room:

Describe what you are seeing while looking at the screen:

Describe how you feel mentaly/emotionaly:

2nd step

photo of brick displayed inside a computer screen

2nd step: I take the answers, wait a round, and then give back a new sheet of paper to the same people with the exact same questions concerning the respresentation of the object (brick) that is being displayed in the middle of the room on a computer screen on the same podium.

Answer Samples

1.0 Object on a podium

1.1 Sitting on corner stairs —> Want to see it from different angles —> Feeling trapped, frustrated
1.2 Sitting on stairs —> a rock looking dead —> Feeling sad
1.3 Sitting on the left close from columns —> rational observation —> Nostalgic memories because participated to the creation of the object as it looks right now
1.4 Sitting in front of object —> Calm and slighly confused
1.5 Sitting on the floor next to stairs in between the side and the middle —> Looking at the object from the bottom —> Feeling a bit confused and inspired

2.0 Photo of the object displayed on a computer screen placed on a podium

2.1 Sitting on a chair seeing the brick from a bird perspective -> Feeling more control of the situation
2.2 Sitting very close from the brick —> Seeing a flat and almost abstract picture —> Feeling drawn to the picture, aesthetically pleasing, feeling less sad about the object
2.3 Sitting under a table very far way —> Looking abstract but identifiable —> Exited about the unusual and childish observation position
2.4 Sitting on stairs —> and seeing the brick in 2D —> Feeling fine
2.5 Sittiing on the stairs —> Seeing a side of the screen with a top view photo of the object —> Feeling confortable

+Notes from Michael
+"Bring attention to the systems underlying artistic productions" both on the Web and the physical world<br>
+"reversal of the desktop metaphor" (using the virtual as "concrete" to metaphorically understand a physical exhibition space), what will be the future of an exhibition space... (is already working exhibition spaces working with sensors)
+scary and fascinating at the same time...<br>
+"my embracing/use of sensors isn't about proposing these techniques as a solution / ideal / about control... interfaces requiring less and less from us but paradoxically extracting more and more from us"<br>
+every small unconsidered behaviour is being used (trying to used)...<br>
+there is unpredictable.... because of all the factors, want unexpected things to happen...<br>
+the reality of digital isn't all about precision and control, this notion of surprise is key for an experience.<br>
+Exploring the fullness of digital / programmed / computational media, including those "edge" cases / the "glitch" ... the surprise...
+Examples from museums: (for instance Brussels has the MIM Museum Instrument Museum, sadly the old now retired interface was a system with headphones that were activated in the space, so as you approached vitrines with a violin you would here a performance of that instrument)...
