How 数字 Installations Shape the Future of Public 艺术

We often talk about the growing role of technology in 体系结构 和 造型, 在系统规划和运输方面, but it’s also playing a huge role in 不断变化的公共空间. 数码艺术装置 呈上升趋势 in cities 和 they are having huge impacts on the way we engage with public space.

Unlike a traditionally static sculpture or mural, technology allows a user to see the art change or to participate in the making of the art piece. 例如, 今年夏天, any passerby in Vancouver can control the lights of the iconic Science World dome, 多亏了OH!的互动艺术装置 有形的交互. 有形的交互 has created a huge assortment of interactive technologies, 从“数字涂鸦墙”到“声音云” that adjust their colours according to the ambient noise around them. Whether users are physically manipulate the installation or these pieces are passively adjusting to their surroundings, 它们是不断变化的.

数字 displays don’t require permanent infrastructure 和 can be temporary, 以低成本或更低成本的方式吸引公民. They can add technology to existing infrastructure to transform an under-utilized space into a public place, 随着 不间断 视频经验. 每天晚上睡半个小时, the underside of a bridge is transformed into a video screen to display the story of a salmon run.

These installations can fundamentally change the public space they are put into, making spaces more functional all thanks to the addition of the art. Dave Colangelo的博客艺术之城” says that “sites that support urban media art require the careful planning of the spaces around the screen to make them more inviting 和 amenable to the kinds of interactions they can engage. 通过长椅之类的东西. 嵌入式扬声器. 和传感器.” Adding art can improve the public space beyond the added benefit of the art itself.

数字艺术在不断创新. What will developments in technology add to urban media next? 更重要的是, with new 和 unexpected spaces being claimed for art, how will municipal art policies adapt to bring even more digital installations into our public spaces?
