Interaction:
My definition of Interaction is when an object/product/person is able to continuously change their reaction according to the actions of an external actor.
Another Moon: Kimchi and Chips
Another Moon is a project created by Kimchi and Chips where forty towers collect solar energy during the day, and at night, the energy is used used to project light at the night sky to create a second moon. The light is superimposed on each other so that the secondary moon is three dimensional. This project doesn’t fit my definition of Interaction since the project does the exact same actions every night, and does not react differently.
Sol – An apparatus that depicts pathways of the sun
Sol is a project created by Jelle Reith which depicts the pathway of the sun depending on the azimuth and elevation of the sun. “The azimuth is the angle between the true North and the sun’s vector on the horizontal plane.” The azimuth and elevation are affected by the position of the sun and the position of the observer. Additionally, the position of the sun changes everyday, thus Sol is affected by multiple factors and reacts differently depending on the changes of the external factors.
This project fits my definition of interaction since Sol interacts with the sun and the it’s geographic position. The pathway depicted by Sol’s changes day to day according to these external factors.
