**unfortunately my camera stopped working [it dropped on the street!] the 1st day of my 10days trip to bilbao!
this post though, that references my photos twice [clic] totally inspired me to buy a better one!

sandscape

sandscape is another project from senseable city lab exhibited at the mit museum in cambridge.
these photos were taken while some kids were experimenting with it.
black+white configurations were happening when the machine could not deal with too much information coming from various kids!!!

//from their website::
SandScape is a tangible interface for designing and understanding landscapes through a variety of computational simulations using sand. Users view these simulations as they are projected on the surface of a sand model that represents the terrain. The users can choose from a variety of different simulations that highlight either the height, slope, contours, shadows, drainage or aspect of the landscape model.

The users can alter the form of the landscape model by manipulating sand while seeing the resultant effects of computational analysis generated and projected on the surface of sand in real-time. The project demonstrates an alternative form of computer interface (tangible user interface) that takes advantage of our natural ability to understand and manipulate physical forms while still harnessing the power of computational simulation to help in our understanding of a model representation.

nyte

recently i have visited the senseable city lab at mit.
nyte [new york talk exchange] is one of their most recent works.
it is currently exhibited at moma.





this project is about real time phone+ internet data visualization between new york and cities around the world.
"
How does the city of New York connect to other cities?
With which cities does New York have the strongest ties and how do these relationships shift with time?
How does the rest of the world reach into the neighborhoods of New York?
"
these are questions to take under consideration.
