Folie Exemplar

After a Brief team meeting, in which the site was analysed along the notion of a 'Folie' and this particular project, it was decided that our theme would be to allow the user to use devises to look closer at particular areas they might have not previously or provide context for which the area they are standing in. We then preceded to research exemplars of similar installations that might help our design process.

This installation by MAP, was to provide a context when viewing Hong Kong from afar. This was especially so during fog and haze when the user does not know were to look to see a the skyline. This binocular shaped piece keeps the viewing elements fixed to a point at two different levels of zoom. This is an eye catching way to draw in the user and allow them to gather information about their context.

This installation in several Sydney CBD lane ways, was to allow users to use the devices to view certain areas. The 'periscopes' actually containing a screen, displays an image of an area in Sydney's western suburbs. The concept was 'looking over the over-looked', providing a city inhabitant a view of little seen or ignored suburbs that are in need.
