In a highly digitized age, the common university student likely would not have difficulties in organizational forms of communication. Two campuses from the same university separated by some distance should have few problems in terms of coordination. The problem exists, in the psychological and metaphorical link between the two campuses.
Any intervention tasked with mediating this relationship should be focused on the most basic forms of communication. The visual realization of the presence of an individual is more powerful than a nod to an entire population.
This project utilizes an abstract form of heat mapping to indicate presence. A depth camera and a series of projectors record movement on this installation, the purpose of which is up to the user. An easily constructible aluminum frame makes multiple arrangements possible according to the context. The primary material, frosted glass, emphasizes the glowing patterns of the projection and creates a light and approachable environment.
