Here There Be MonstersThe next radical transformation of the outdoor exhibit space will involve flooding the entire space with water and creating a unique and subtly responsive environment.
Spanned by a hyperboloid- shaped bamboo foot bridge that resembles a fraying warped tube and lined with artificially intelligent water systems, the design results from a collaborative effort by infranatural, Bruce Danziger of Arup and Sci-Arc and architects Moritz Freund and Shu-Chi Hsu.
The installation will explore the challenges of synchronizing the aesthetics and intrinsic characteristics of natural materials in the built environment with the latest computer aided design tools and embedded control system technologies.
Upon entry visitors will cross the hand woven bamboo bridge around which the water will erupt with anticipation and reaction to their presence and intentions.
The merging of technology and nature into a cohesive experience will challenge and engage viewers through a sophisticated system of sensors to encourage a physical dialog with the responsive space.
The installation will investigate our fear of nature and the unknown, our attraction to control, and our definition of life.
The system invites contemplation of these issues while working on many scales simultaneously.
