星座

設(shè)計(jì)：Jason Kelly Johnson &Nataly Gattegno,Futureforms

Constellations 屬于動(dòng)態(tài)沉浸式藝術(shù)作品，采用光影的流動(dòng)模式和規(guī)則系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)。Constellations 是一個(gè)標(biāo)志性雕塑，融合了數(shù)字工藝和尖端制造技術(shù)，以及各種尺度的抽象現(xiàn)象數(shù)據(jù)可視化。圓形的劇場(chǎng)像是一個(gè)門(mén)戶，通向以科學(xué)、藝術(shù)和技術(shù)為靈感的動(dòng)態(tài)視覺(jué)世界。

Constellations 位于美術(shù)和預(yù)制藝術(shù)中心與佛羅里達(dá)州彭薩科拉市的西佛羅里達(dá)大學(xué)的哈爾·馬庫(kù)斯理工學(xué)院之間。它錨定校園內(nèi)STEM 學(xué)科之間的格局狀況，并為藝術(shù)與科學(xué)之間的對(duì)話創(chuàng)建開(kāi)放式框架。Constellations 內(nèi)設(shè)置的部分表演空間和數(shù)據(jù)可視化設(shè)備，為不同學(xué)科和信息的對(duì)話創(chuàng)造了聚集空間。

該結(jié)構(gòu)為30'x25'x16'的圓形劇院，集人員聚集、信息收集和體驗(yàn)生活為一體。Constellations 采用不銹鋼結(jié)構(gòu)，由一系列的鍍鋅鋼結(jié)構(gòu)柱、不銹鋼圓梁和格柵組成。懸掛在格子上的是一系列不銹鋼托盤(pán)，托盤(pán)上裝有由Pharos LED 控制器控制的Phillips Color Kinetic LED。

受早期使用時(shí)間攝影和行星運(yùn)動(dòng)模擬對(duì)動(dòng)物運(yùn)動(dòng)的研究和翻譯的啟發(fā)，Constellations 使用幾何學(xué)、光和影創(chuàng)造出冥想的內(nèi)部空間，在晚上成為顯示星座運(yùn)動(dòng)的俏皮照明雕塑。從不重樣，一直變化。

Constellations 融合藝術(shù)和科學(xué)、技術(shù)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)、數(shù)據(jù)和藝術(shù)為一體。圓形劇場(chǎng)讓來(lái)自不同學(xué)科的人聚集在一起，觀察數(shù)據(jù)模式，討論、合作。無(wú)論是依照樂(lè)譜演奏的音樂(lè)家，學(xué)習(xí)編舞的舞蹈家，觀察數(shù)據(jù)模式的計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家，還是凝視云層圖像的氣象學(xué)家；星座將藝術(shù)和技術(shù)連接在一起，融合孤立的學(xué)科和人。

Constellations is a dynamic and immersive artwork animated by flowing patterns and algorithmic formations of light and shadow.It is an iconic sculpture that merges digital craft and cutting edge fabrication with data visualizations of abstract phenomena found in nature at a variety of scales.Constellations creates a theater-in-the-round that acts like a portal into an invisible world of dynamic visual poetry inspired by ideas of science,art and technology.

Constellations is located between the Center for Fine and Preforming Arts and the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering at the University of West Florida in Pensacola Florida.It anchors the landscape between the STEM disciplines on campus and creates an open ended framework for dialogue between the arts and the sciences.Part performance space and part data visualization device,Constellations creates the gathering space for the dialogue of different disciplines avnd information.

The structure forms a 30’ x 25’ x 16’theater in the round–a place to gather,collect and experience.Constructed out of stainless steel,Constellations is made up of a series of galvanized steel structural columns,stainless steel elliptical beams and lattices.Suspended from the lattices are a series of stainless steel trays that hold Phillips Color Kinetic LEDs,controlled by a Pharos LED controller.

Inspired by early studies and translations of animal locomotion using chronophotography and planetary motion simulations,Constellations uses geometry,light and shadow to create a meditative internal space that at night becomes a playful illuminated sculpture displaying constellations of motion.Never the same -always in flux.

Constellations merges art and science,technology and experience,data and art.The theater-in-the-round brings together people from divergent disciplines,to observe patterns of data,discuss and collaborate.Whether a musician seeing the rhythm of a score,a dancer studying a choreography,a computer scientist observing data patterns,or a meteorologist gazing at images of clouds;Constellations brings together otherwise siloed disciplines and people through the merge of art and technology.
