Question 2:
When freed from the artifice of digital rendering techniques what are the true emergent behaviours of human interaction that define an architecture. Should the intent be to create an intelligent building or nurture intelligence within its inhabitants, and would this engender a reciprocal space of shared social responsibility?

Question 1:
The history of ‘public’ art for architecture is littered with decorative baubles festooning the facade. Is there potential in the visualisation of human-centric data framed through a responsive and intelligent environment provide a new and critical relevance at the interface between the ‘architecture’ and the ‘art’?

2: Spectrum analysis of microphone data (not recorded)

3: Audio Beat Detection (PC download only : performs audio beat detection if recording source is set to stereo / mono out on your sound card while music is playing … set the path to your Bluetooth directory or any image directory).

1: Simple motion detection test – uses very basic b-frame analysis to detect motion

2: Movie style graphic effect with b-frame detection- cells with motion are in focus, static cells are blurred out

3: More robust graphic data processing- removes tonal value to record movement in hue values only (AS2)

4: Optimised hue detection for motion detection (AS3)
