3d scanning and camera tracking @Omonia Square Athens






here is my set in nuke (also can add poisson mesh under pointcloud).
lens distortion for undistorted the goPro wide angle fish eye lens.
in this case I only use around 800 camera trackers. (in terms of time and my crappy laptop.)
increase 1000~2000 could have more precise result.

DEVELOPER'S NOTE
This survival kit try to rendering how new technology like smart-phone and social network change our behavior gradually (from social agenda to psychical movement), navigation, and orientation in the city. Furthermore, by these changes we could re-understand our city and illustrate possible strategies to deal and respond with this paradigm change. The certain tools will be like data collecting, mapping, and visualizing, especially the way we map social network feed in the city-space to optimize what urban properties relate to specific seed in the visual layer. Therefore, we might be inspired new paradigm or speculation for urbanism or landscape art according these changes.

If people so rely on Google map traveling in the city, should we count algorisms and optimizations behind the map applications into human behaviour and cognitive investigation?

 First impact is the map system in mobile device, especially navigation, we use every day (google, bing, openstreet map.. etc). Not only our movement in the city are changed by these new application, and also change our social decisions in the case of multiple destinations. Even though most people don’t care how the computational process behind, but every time we use and follow the navigation in our handy, our behaviour are largely affect by the path-finding logic behind the map applications. As a result, by drifting from these path finding algorism and people’s experience-map might give us some adapt strategies to answer these changes.

InterioriCity - Athens / PORJECT FIRE FLY - 2nd Semester

Desire - revealed from social network (Massing of information)
Just for imagination… Every mobile device drop the footprint whenever we use it in the city, like ants laying down pheromone for creating trails as information for their colony, the massive of information creates cumulative butterfly-dust-like mist, for itself for public, to read, communicate, migrate, and motivate. This pheromone emission is not driven by wind or endocrine, but with social events, networking, and communication changings – ground state.

    Facebook check-in, twitter’s geo-point, and flickr’s geotag provide us not only information and tendency in people’s trend but also included these desires spatial relationship in the city. Analyzing and categorizing information from social network helps us to bring the issue. In addition, compare these data to the existing urban environment.

InterioriCity - Athens / PORJECT FIRE FLY - 1st Semester


      This project tries to use an experimental and fictional way, the swarm, to smell, detect, hence to hunt down the conservative scenario in the city, also by using its own moment and behavior to create new typology in our city.
     Exarchia (Athens, Greece) ,also knows as the place of left wind and anarchists, we choose as a petri dish to breed the swarm. For instance, with its different characteristic neighborhood, Kolonaki and Omonia, these groups of people refuse to contact with each other, in political and physical ways. Thus, by this driving power the swarm can move around the periphery of these islands to test take out of the barrier of people.

     The drove is not only a metaphor of crisis moving around geographically but also what we learn from the riot in Athens. As an illustration, People vandalize during the riot in Greece, once separated individual and the crowd has been destroyed, nothing stands between them and the crowd.( Crowds and Power, Elias Canetti, 1962)  People use this tactics to manipulate the fear of being touched. Consequently, this logic become the swarm take part of the block, to force people to communicate.

     The dancing swarm also pullulates these new kinds of predatory forms by its movement, velocity, and behaviors interacting with the environment. According to our hunter gather societies, aboriginals always use tattoos, clothes, and patterns on their body look like their own targets to prevent disturbing the victims. The swarm can use this tactics as a camouflage to simulate the crisis happened in Athens. As a result, when people see this they can recognize this as the monuments of the crisis, vice versa.
