Notating Interaction

Finding methods by which to represent interaction with architectural representation is an ongoing interest of mine. Euclidean space presuppositions have long ago proved short on providing an adequate model both for physical and for metaphysical spatial considerations. Alternative geometrical models of space became available more than a century ago. Higher-dimensional, or curved, space appeared more suitable to accommodate the needs of a broad range of disciplines.

Based on the fundamental relationship between form, reality and any human interaction with the external world. As part of the research spaces investigation at UCL I begun looking at the types of non-euclidean models I could use to explore relationship between subjectivity and alternative geometrical models of space.

Akin to one of the four “Research Spaces” conference strands [Conceptual Spaces], the piece investigated the relationship between space and the knowing subject and interrelationships between subjects and objects in art [and] architecture. Aiming at the initiation of the participants to an alternative model of our physical space, The sculpture/notation/ interactive installation aimed primarily to alert participants of common assumptions about the physical and geometrical nature of space within our everyday perception. Participants were given the opportunity to experiment with engaging these new models of space through interaction.
