‘Field Guide’ - Designing Interactive Components - an Uncovered Lecture by F_RMlab
Thursday, July 11th @ 12:30pm in the F_RMlab (Rm 2019)

Field Guide is an interactive installation composed of an intricate modular surface which is manipulated by an embedded digital infrastructure. Programmed to respond to the motion of passing viewers, the installation provokes our participation and dynamic engagement with everyday spaces.

F_RMlab created the installation Field Guide for the Gladstone Hotel’s Grow Op exhibition in April 2013, as a testing ground for responsive, affective environments and integrated digital systems. For many of us, it was our first foray into interactive design: having recently learned basic arduino, we delved into the world of youtube servo motor videos, shook our hands again and again in front of sensors, learned to solder and taught ourselves how to read wiring diagrams.

Come hear about how we designed these billowing clouds of mylar, and learned to make them move.

Field Guide was recently reinstalled for the Toronto’s Civic Action, and will be present at ACADIA 2013.

See you Thursday!
