Non-Place

Taipei, 2019

Inspired by Marc Auge’s Non-Places,  this is a set of devices that use the webcam to change the speed and clarity of the image according to the number of people who stand before the screen and the distance between them.
Concept
It is a set of devices that utilize the webcam to adjust the speed and clarity of the image based on the number of people standing before the screen and the distance between them. As the number of people increases and the space between them decreases, the speed will gradually increase. If you wish to view each photo clearly on the big screen, you must be alone and close to it. This contrasts with the typical expectation of interactive installations, which encourage more people to interact with a piece of work. However, you can slow down the image and move closer to the screen indefinitely.
