Interaction by design




Dotty Duveen|Tate Gallery London|2005|By Jason Bruges Studio
Temporary installation commissioned by the Tate, comprising of an array of 40 wands in the main Octagon gallery. Each wand was 2 metres tall, and had a glowing sphere at the top that turned only when the rods were touched and bent.


A second part of the installation was the generation of a “live painting” tracking the interaction throughout the day. The resulting video piece gave a fascinating overview of the different movements occurring within the space.
I liked this project because it shows that people are compelled to interact with the spaces they occupy and people cannot help but be emotionally affected by their surroundings.

Sadly it's not the prettiest installation I've ever seen but i like what it investigates.
