Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal

Abstract

"Sensing Data in Metaphorical Space" is the marriage of "Pockets Full of Memories" (PFOM) with "Sensing Speaking Space" (SeSpsp). The concept is to create an artwork that deals with archive construction and intervention through technological means of data collection followed by interaction using the motion sensing vision technologies of the (SeSpsp) project, a real-time feedback environment where visualization and sound are generated by the presence and movement of spectators within a public space. This interaction is implemented to a large number of digitized data objects as exemplified by the" (PFOM) installation where an archive of over 3300 objects had been created at the Pompidou Center during the summer of 2000.
