Our experience of time in our everyday lives and media tends to be uniform: time is constant wherever we look, and when we rewind or fast-forward a movie, we change the whole image, not just a region. However time can be manipulated like any medium. Our Proteus system enables users to explore the space and time in video as a fine-grained and manipulable medium, capable of revealing spatiotemporal patterns, juxtapositions, and narrative in moving image.

Ìý

We are researching what are the use-cases and experiences of users when time becomes manipulable in this way. Our existing Proteus project is designed for a tabletop scenario but we would like to build on this and deliver a room-scale experience for multiple users.

Influenced by seminal works like Koyaanisqatsi, Samsara, Muybridge, and Hockney, we envision a media piece in three chapters: Wilderness & Nature, People & Cities, The Sky and Beyond. We will use time-lapse video, including 360 video or triptychs, to fill the projection space of B2. We will create tangible objects using B2 motion tracking to enable room-scale interactions with the video content.

Ìý

We would use the majority of the residency to develop and experiment with room-scale projection and interaction, which we have detailed in our application media of sketches and compositions. We will document our findings, with a whole day dedicated to public testing. We would take this opportunity to gather feedback from visitors to improve the system and report on their experiences.

The work of the residency will then be written as an academic paper for an arts and design track conference, with the hope to bring the experience to other interested venues.
