D-Fuse

D-Fuse have created a multi-screened immersive environment that uses 3D animations of high resolution still photos & simple vector maps of the planet to explore these issues. Offering a reading of this global monoculture where aesthetic, architectural, agricultural, natural and civic diversity is being lost as the consumer driven culture spreads across the globe.

Below is a clip that gives me an idea of what their concept is, and what they are working towards.



Small Global is a 4 x transparent Screen immersive environment that requires a dark room, with a minimum of four metre spaces around the installation for the public to view the screens from outside and also have the option to walk inside the installation. The screens are set in a cube with one metre of space between them to allow for the public to view from either inside or outside of the cube and the fifth projector is mounted above to enable the floor projection.

Here are some concept drawings that have been created to show how this installation was created.


I really like the thought process that d-fuse has progresses with, the works that have been created are quite political, and look at the darker side of our culture, such as weapons productions, crime, etc. In terms of creating an immersive environment I feel that this concept is relevant to what I would like to achieve.

The next step is to begin to look into the technologies that will allow me to create the types of works that I know is possible, such as the arduino microchip, projector technologies, and the video-wall.
