Case Study 3:

Case study 3:

Malmö central station virtual window/Elsewhere

Overview

Elsewhere is amulti-projection video art work which seeks to transform the reinforced concrete landscape of the Malmö C underground station into a wide open space. Through a projection device that evokes the perceptual experience from the train, the viewers will be invited to lose themselves in images during their wait. The projections acting as windows, the station itself becomes a train that loses its spatial and temporal rails, itinerant across the earth.

Project challenge:

The video landscapes on display on the platform walls. The train platform was a great location for this as a small but somehow silently beautiful nod to this historical conjunction between technologies of transport and technologies of vision. At the Malmö train station platform a projection that imitates the windows of a screen is a nod towards the train passenger’s view as cinematic glimpse into landscapes, people, things passing by, as well as a form of cinematic spectatorship where the projection wall could be seen as stabilized frames – a frozen film, or actually where the frames are frozen but the image magically carries on.

Audience: Tourists, passengers

Impact:

Most visitors arrived early to catch their train from Malmo to Gothenburg in tow decided to wait on the platform for the train.  And Malmö central station virtual window caught these passengers’ attention. Waiting time is very long and there was no train at the platform, but instead people saw a series of moving landscapes on the wall. At first, it seemed a bit strange. It was almost like I was sitting in a train watching the landscape pass by through the window except people were not on a train and yet had this visual illusion. In fact, after overcoming their slightly confused state, they started recognizing some of the world landmarks on display. To some extent, video installation intended to show waiting passengers’ visuals that they would see on train journeys around the world. It is actually a very creative work of art which draws in the viewer, engages them and puts them in a frame of mind to enjoy their train journey. To some extent, the installation opens up thoughts about our relationship to the distant past and to the invisible world, which surrounds us.

Craft:

The starting point for this work is the power movement and rhythm that is constantly generated by and in a railway station. The work focuses on energy from both a physical and existential perspective. The functions of the installation are symbiotically linked to the technical construction of the station building and City tunnel. Tracks of LED lights have been built into the wall of the station. They are in turn triggered and controlled by the arrivals and departures of the trains. The movements of the lights have been programmed to imitate the flocking behavior of small insects that come into the station when a train has left the platform and flee for the darkness of the tunnel again when a new train arrives.

Through a projection device that evokes the perceptual experience from the train, the viewers will be invited to lose themselves in images during their wait. The projections acting as windows, the station itself becomes a train that loses its spatial and temporal rails, itinerant across the earth. This virtual window system like a lost river flows continually into an underground passage. It is said that one never steps in the same river twice; comparably, the installation is elaborated in such a way that it is unlikely that a viewer on a fixed schedule will see the same image time and again. In terms of tempo, the visual window system is conceived as a release for the individual viewer. The recorded images are slowed down, in contrast with the speed of everyday urban life, in order to ease the experiential flow of time. In symbolic terms, this artwork highlights the importance of the Central Station as a node; in its primary sense, as a crucial railway link, but also metaphorically as a connection between the city and the entire world.

About Mock

My project name is Window Space. So, I want to use capital "W" and the concept of space in the logo. I decided to design two diffrent page tables on the iphone and the ipad respectively. This is a genral idea of my project's logo.

How much we know about "WINDOW"?

I had a great day: the high point was staring out of the window’.

Why i think staring out the window is an important thing for everyone? We can gain more ideas and answers from following information.

The point of staring out of a window is an exercise in discovering the contents of our own minds. It’s easy to imagine we know what we think, what we feel and what’s going on in our heads. But we rarely do entirely. There’s a huge amount of what makes us who we are that circulates unexplored and unused. Its potential lies untapped. It is shy and doesn’t emerge under the pressure of direct questioning. If we do it right, staring out the window offers a way for us to listen out for the quieter suggestions and perspectives of our deeper selves.

Accurately, Staring out the window offers such an opportunity. We see the world going on: a patch of weeds is holding its own against the wind; a grey tower block looms through the drizzle. But we don’t need to respond; we have no overarching intentions, and so the more tentative parts of ourselves have a chance to be heard, like the sound of church bells in the city once the traffic has died down at night.

Looking out the window is an easy methor to help people improve their work efficiency and thinking ability. For instance, when you allow yourself to just look out the window for 10 minutes – and ponder – your brain will start working in a more creative way. It will grasp ideas from unexpected places.  It’s this very sort of unconscious creativity that leads to great thinking. When you’re driving or showering, you’re letting your mind wander because you don’t have to focus on anything in particular. If you do carve out some time for unobstructed thinking, be sure to free yourself from any specific intent.

Therefore, I will use "Window" as a main element in my project and I also find that the concept of "Window" could be presented differeouch differently through colour screens, a touch interface, and so on.

Inspiration For My Project

This is a Chinese poem.  Title: Part of Article

Author: Bian Zhilin 你站在桥上看风景，           As you are enjoying the scenery on a bridge 看风景的人在楼上看你。    Upstairs on a tower people are watching you 明月装饰了你的窗子，        The bright moon adorns your window 你装饰了别人的梦。            But you adorn others' dream

In fact, the poet will make people who thought it was the culmination of Dharma! Short excerpts from four compact, easily understood, is not difficult to understand at first glance, but feel fine ponder meaning of infinity. Poet through a few simple objects: people, moon, window, dream, expressing things in the world are interrelated, relatively balanced, interdependent philosophy. Therefore, “Window” as an important factor will be appear in my project and it will also be a design element in my final poster.
