SOLANUM ǀ Augmented Sculpture - プロジェクションマッピングによる拡張現実彫刻
ダウンタウンヒューストンのJWマリオットホテルのラウンジのためにゼロから設計され、構築された拡張現実彫刻。エンターテーメントのためのプロジェクションマッピングではなく、絵画や彫刻のような壁面プロジェクションは自然に人の目や感覚を楽しませてくれるだろう。新しい都市デザインや屋内建造物のデザインに用いられるようになるかもしれない。

SOLANUM is an augmented sculpture designed and built from scratch for the lounge of the JW Marriott Hotel in downtown Houston. The physical body and its custom fit virtual guise were conceived to melt together and form a site-specific artwork closely corresponding with the given spatial structure.---
The sculpture consists of layered elements that are carefully aligned to one another and compose an organic pattern that seems to sprout from the underlying tile texture. The projected video content follows a circadian rhythm. By daytime, the sculpture seems to perform gentle movements, just as if it was dreaming and moving in its sleep. When night falls, the nocturnal being awakens and comes to live. It reveals its full beauty in vibrant and rhythmic animations, inviting its spectators to linger and observe this fascinating play.
