Transit by Scott Snibbe (2010) LAX Airport Installation

An interesting art installation by Scott Snibble. A great idea that falls down due to using a 15 minute loop instead of randomised or programmed visualisation, as well as a lack of interactivity. Fun to view for a few minutes but not as engaging as it could have been.

"Firewall is an interactive installation, a seemingly normal wall that is actually a stretched spandex surface which acts as a membrane interface sensitive to depth. People can push, touch, move and create fire-like visuals dynamically depending on the speed, pressure, depth and movement of the interaction with the spandex surface. On top of that, each membrane movement is synced with sound to complete the experience."

"36-foot long wall that consists of a single image that's a grid of cubes that can animate in various ways. When someone steps into the interaction area, they reveal videos. If there's no activity for long enough, they go into idle mode where these text animations are overlayed on top of the cubes."

Very, very cool interactive wall that responds to human movement with colour. Projects like these make me think, "Who cares what the point is, it's so much FUN!"

I'm still developing the idea of using an interactive wall where the departure cards are placed at Brisbane Airport. I'm inspired visually by the above works by Margaret Scobie (green) and Rosemary Petyarre (blue). This post will be updated at a later date.

Another idea for the departures area at Brisbane Airport is to bring Aboriginal art into the space to create a sense of saying goodbye to Brisbane. Similar to the arrivals gate, which will display two large walls of Sally Gabori's artwork to create a welcoming feel, what the BAC describe as a "sensory hug". The use of colour will be important in the departures area; the use of strong reds and browns found in the arrivals hall (which evoke emotions of warmth, comfort and intensity) would need to be minimal. They could instead be replaced with greens (tranquility, health), blues (calmness, serenity) and yellow (cheeriness, warmth). I have chosen the above selection of Aboriginal art as an illustration. Please see following post for the interactive section of this idea.

This is interacive art work for Samsung galaxy note2 pre-promotion. Steak Studio created interactive water art. It called Liquid Pixels. The art work can operate with Samsung galaxy note2.

I have identified the departures area and subsequent security area of Brisbane Airport as a possible interaction insertion point, a place BAC considers a high stress point. A quick survey I conducted resulted in the following notes regarding this section of the airport: - Unattractive experience - Say your goodbyes, then dissapear into a hole - Evokes negative feelings - Has no meaning and no purpose - A badly utilized space - Confusing I would love to use this space to change the emotions felt by current travellers through this space. By using an interactive wall, similar to the above Google Billboard, we could mitigate the feelings of anxiety, confusion and sadness and replace them with excitement and joy. One idea is to have a farewell photograph wall, where travellers can take photographs of their group, family or friends and send them to the wall with messages. To encourage people to use the wall, they could be given the ability to set the maximum amount of time the photos could be displayed.
