Session 2: Remediation

What is Remediation?

According to Bolter and Grusin, remediation is “the representation of one medium in another,” and they argue that it is “a defining characteristic of the new digital media.”

Own Research

During my own research i came across an exhibition that looked rather interesting in Moscow. it doesn't directly correlate to this weeks topic but it helped further my understanding of interactive design none the less. 

"Life Zone"

Moscow Design Centre M'ARS, in collaboration with the M'ARS Laboratory (St. Petersburg) wanted to create a unique exhibition of audio visual art - Life Zone.

The term "life zone" in astronomy refers to an area where life is possible, which is also known as the habitable zone.

The exhibition was designed as an interactive maze that immerses the viewer in the space of sound, image and light with the help of modern technology.

Through the use of projectors, the organisers sought to create a unique, immersive space where the viewer can interact with the created artwork.
