Where COMPUTING serves the very SOCIAL action of lending a very PHYSICAL piece of CULTURE... a book.

Books (yes, we think of physical pieces of books) are still of relevance in our age when file sharing, music and video download became our daily routine. We can carry them with us, read it on the tram and have wonderful smell!

Our aim

We imagine a light space which can be controlled by physical human force. Soft, tensile, elastic rays of light stretched through the space which can be grabbed and stretched and so controlled.

In this project we explore the topic of smoking. This habit has a rich social context and cultural background despite its negative health risks. We are interested in the space occupied by smokers, designed objects related to smoking (i.e. ashtrays, lighters) and the cultural romance attached to it.

QR code is a two-dimensional bar code, which has been developed in Japan in 1994. It has become extremely popular there, where standards were adopted in January 1999, where posters, and ads often include QR codes and where the most mobile phones are already able to read. In June 2000, it has become an international standard. It became even more popular after it was launched and quickly spreaded around the world.

This project focuses on the continuous flow of social data fragments that herald our transitions between online and offline worlds.

Each time a person goes comes online or goes offline, servers all over the world are alerted and these simple messages are transmitted to that person's friends. While most of these transitions are ignored, our project captures this data in order to expand and dwell within the liminal spaces between our real and virtual worlds. This continuous and dynamic data flow inspired us to create an installation where these transitions are metaphorically represented by physical and nonphysical phenomena.

We are deeply interested how we can express our memories and impression of a city using maps.

Now we want to draw a subjective map that put the weight on the places and rescale the map according to our preferences. To achieve this, we are developing a map-distortion web-tool.
