A
simulated site-specific rubber sidewalk laboratory.
(structure): 2m X 1.5m X 1.5m
(projections): 3m X 5m (approx)
slide projections, scaffolding, rubber, plastic door strips, umbrella fabric,
turnbuckles
An architectural experiment situated within a surrounding of projections
of a specific urban landscape. The structure literally shifts the ground
from underfoot through the use of a stretched woven rubber flooring system,
and intensifies the haptic sensibility of movement within the structure.
With multiple participants a scenario develops of
feeling and being felt simultaneously – affecting and effected. The
woven covering the of structure acts as an semi-porous [osmotic] membrane,
allowing traces of light to seep inside through the gaps in the weave,
and creating a ghosting, or blurring effect of the bodies inside from the
perspective of the on-lookers outside the volume.
