Media, space and technology
The SAPS media content from different sources is simultaneously merged in the physical installation, but can also be clearly separated by the fragmented set-up of the physical interventions. Distortions of projected media are performed in real time, to allow adjustment due to different angles of projection surfaces. These distortions work through anamorphs, perspective distortions, and add another level of complexity to the classical principle, in that they can continuously shift.
The SAPS uses broadband Internet and mpeg2/mpeg4 streaming. Television quality will be achieved in the images using public networks for communication and distribution. The technology allows integration of interactive use of mobile telephones. A spectator could take part in the creation of live images and set up a conversational contact with the installation. The international transmission is using a new multicast protocol, which enables the above proposal (and the work with the nonTVTVstation). Splintermind and TeliaSonera are developing this protocol.
The configuration of the physical space is distributed, and opens up the space to the outside, and simultaneously establishes different focus areas. Different spatial interventions both carry the projected media and create a differentiated terrain. Characteristics such as open/closed, light, sound or sightlines are gradually shifting throughout the area. The different spatial conditions together with the manipulable media content allow adaptation to changing activities during the day. Branding element can shift into artwork or curated mediated events such as presentations, VJ-sessions, fashion shows or ambient lounge mingles.
Commission
The SAPS spatial concept can be integrated into an existing environment, be part of a design in development or be established as a separate project. The development is typically initiated though a preliminary study, which defines requirements and suggests a potential design approach, often in collaboration with curators or branding consultants. During the project development phase the SAPS project team uses specially developed tools as a support for the design process, enabling complete control over the development of projection beams, spatial configuration and real-time media distortions.
