The visual configuration was constructed in reference to the analysis of the structural components of the picture. The active components of our design , inspired by the poster's rasterization, are explicitly formulated into a disc. Consequently, the discs simulate the picture's smallest compound ; that is a color.
The principle geared behind the intervention takes advantage of the property of colors ( for example the 3 basic colors of the additive color model , RGB ) to mingle and reproduce remaining colors. In this case, the color is generated in the form of radiation, rather than in the form of pigment. | The color arrangement on the surface of the disc utilizes the mixing principle, so as to reconstruct the color compounds into a new color. Trying to select the appropriate imagery that would consist the final choice, we concluded that we were not interested to narrate or embellish but to interfere on the morphological structure of the given site. Hereby the wall’s muddy concrete color was “divided” in singular color elements, that are tints of grey. Each one of these variations was reproduced in the additive RGB color mode on the circular element’s surface. The color compounds imitate and relate to the mosaic of tabloid wall poster arrangement, due both to their morphological resemblance and to their positioning on the wall's flat surface. | The rotation of the disc results to the degradation of the disc's color which in the static state is clearly discerned as a multicolor pallete and is apprehended as a discreet object placed on the wall. Moreover, when the motion sensor is activated and the disc start to rotate, the disc “camouflages” itself thus creating a visual paradox by "hiding" its volume into the volume of the cement wall. The movement of the spectators function as a fundamental sculptural element of the composition. Thus, while the people passing by -from a short distance - have the sense of a deliberated deconstruction of the composition’s rigid structure, when seen from a distance the triggering event acts as a unification parameter by making the discs appear incoorporated into the wall. Consequently, movement creates a visual decomposition of the wall's morphological structure. |
| Each of the circular elements is connected internally with a movement sensor, which activates a motor. As soon as the sensor "is aware" of the spectators movement, it automatically activates the motor, on which each one of the circular discs is adapted (diameter size 12cm). The disc starts to whirl having as a result the colored bows of its surface to mix and emit a uniform hue of grey color. | Each triangular unit (size 1m x 1m x 1m) is made of stainless steel (or alternatively from synthetic plastic) and externally "dressed" from precasted concrete. It includes three revolving discs made of nylon (diameter size 12cm). The discs are each one autonomously connected to an electric motor, which is respectively controlled by a sensor. The sensor used is a pyroelectric sensor and scouts the movement. The motor transmits the movement to the disc via an axis on which the disc is adapted. |
