Making Space, 2011<br />
Interactive Installation<br />
The Making Space universe is concerned with<br />
the cosmos as a reflection <strong>of</strong> our society <strong>and</strong><br />
collective human pursuits. Gravity <strong>of</strong> individual<br />
atoms each exerts influence on the solar system,<br />
as a part <strong>of</strong> something bigger. In human society,<br />
strangers come together in pursuit <strong>of</strong> common<br />
goals. Collective actions ultimately manifests into<br />
advances in the society we live in now. As stars<br />
on a starry night, daily actions <strong>of</strong> single human<br />
beings are important pieces to a functional<br />
society as a whole. Each singularity is in relation<br />
to others as a part <strong>of</strong> something bigger.<br />
Using motion detection, the viewer uses<br />
her presence to engage the universe<br />
while collectively creating it with others.<br />
Each presence in front <strong>of</strong> the installation<br />
draws the universe closer <strong>and</strong> creates a new<br />
star in the cosmic scene, progressively filling the<br />
void. The universe draws close when the viewer<br />
is detected, creating an engaging experience,<br />
while appearing distant <strong>and</strong> vulnerable when the<br />
viewer is far <strong>and</strong> outside detection. The star that<br />
each individual leaves on the cosmic scene are<br />
just like our everyday actions that causes small<br />
changes on society as a whole. Ultimately, on<br />
the screen, each individual influence builds into<br />
a powerful scene for others to appreciate.<br />
