In the middle space one was immersed in a video projection and sound scape
that reacted to the presence of people in the room. In response to the City of
Melbourne’s 2030 plan for dealing with the effects of a drastically increased
population within Melbourne’s central urban districts, the space attempted to
demonstrate how density could bring calming effects to an environment. When the
room filled with people the projected imagery and ambient sounds became slower
and quieter. As the room emptied the imagery would become faster and the
sound louder.
To assist in achieving the respondent environment controlled by the continuous
flows of visitors Jeremy Yuille and Gregory More worked with Soledad Herrara in
generating a montage of sounds and images as well as developing an application
for the motion sensors. Andre Ebella from the Tokyo office of Belgium sensor
company BEA coordinated the sponsorship of the motion sensors. These were
used to activate the decrease or increase of media into the room.
