Light & Interactivity: Week 10 Observation Assignment

-

 Observation Assignment: Interior, lobby, hallway, or transitional space. 

**I would rather not discuss my blog in class.


Lobby Space at a Doctor's office. 

A few weeks ago I had to do another visit to the Doctor. So I took the opportunity to document the Lobby.

The interior ceiling lights in the Lobby were recessed cans. They had a warm yellow tone which contrast with the natural light coming in through a window and the glass door entrance. The office was located on the first floor of a building facing north so there was not a lot of direct light but it was enough to see that it was a Sunny day in March.

The recessed light create an office environment but they look more welcoming in real life. Aside from the light the art on display had a very specific subject. There were several images of green landscapes and flowers.  It definitely made me feel like I had taken a time machine to sometime between the late 80's or early 90's.










When it was my turn to enter the doctor's office I noticed some sconce lights battling against a white fluorescent light. Initially I question the decision but later it was evident that it was an excellent choice. Once it was time for the exemptions and the fluorescent lights were out. The light directed towards the ceiling create a soothing environment. 




And research further the art selection, more flowers.

How do physical presence function in a networked world?  The physical presence is often overseen when thinking of the networked world we live in. Flavors, smells, physical touch are all part of our daily lives in a metropolitan city. Community engagement is what helps social networks thrive. During Covid some online communities flourished . Could this possibly be  a result of  a decade and a half of using social media platforms and smartphones? To me the networked world will relay on the human social experience of proximity. For example influencers rely on their following to consume things outside of the virtual interaction but in the networked world the followers get in close proximity through consumer products, or even places that they were referred to by influencers.  The symbiotic relationship between physical and online experience will continue to feed off each other in the near future.  Create something that addresses the materiality and/or Web3 reading (...

What is the role of bias in creating technological tools? I think using technological tools is one of the easiest ways to access a larger demographic therefore it should be created by All TYPES of people. For the past 20 years we have become more and more dependent on the information we consumed and exchange in a tech environment. Bias is real and it wasn't until less than a decade ago that the conversation about bias and the impact on people life's started to become more of a central topic. Now more than ever we need to give tools to people that otherwise don't have a voice in development of said technologies. Also understanding that Bias cannot disappear from one day to another, it a long process and we need to keep the conversation and education going.
