Relative Geoloc. Positioning

The Relative Geoloc. Positioning is a creation we programmed for the Laboral Centro de Arte in 2006. The idea is simple, we catch the coordinates of a place and catch some random places all over the world to show the relative distance from the original point. This great piece of programming has been done by Iñaki Quesada. Have a look at this small video bellow…

Digital Marine Lab for a New Media Art Center

In 2006, we elaborated a proposal for the art center “La Laboral Centro de Arte” and proposed to design a Digital Marine Lab. We occupy the empty space of the oceans in googlemaps to build our digital laboratory. This art center is just in front of the atlantic sea and was perfect for this proposal. The ocean map is divided by a interactive grid ready to receive the digital art projects.

Each project is a underwater tower, visitors can dive in this modules of stratified informations. In the surface area, just a a preview of the project, but if you dive deeper, you will find a more complex information from the project you dive in.

Another aspect of the project was to change aspect of this lab depending from the real state of the atlantic sea, we cached the data in real time from a marine buoy and changed dynamically the visual aspect of this lab. We extended the concept of the dynamic change of the design by the real data from the ocean to the hole site of the Laboral Centro de Arte. Unfortunately we didn’t have the opportunity to finish this work, due to a misunderstanding of the project. Hope one day a art center near the sea can be interested by this proposal making a bridge between other countries and continents. Yes, the Art Center’s projects can draw a line on the sea and cross the atlantic.
