On Tuesday the 12th of December student project ‘Pixies’ (from Robotic Building/former Hyperbody studio) will be exhibited at Highlight, as part of the Light Festival in Delft. Highlight aims to display student work to showcase the innovative and creative capabilities of the students from the TUDelft. The works will be showcased in Theather de Veste. Read more about the Pixies below:
Pixies are a playful, yet elegant way of connecting an audience with its environment. They are on itself existing entities that together create a sensing cloud for interactivity. Designed to redefine the architectural usage- and make the audience reconsider the definition of space. Pixies will respond to simple hand gestures, moving through open space with swarm-like behavior. Their movement is gentle and slow, so the crowd may gain trust and approach the friendly giants, thus connecting people in a new and interesting way. Pixies are a playful, personal, and peaceful solution for your event!
Light has the ability to create different atmospheres but also evoke responses in people through signals, awakening a state of assurance or danger. Trough the implementation of these abilities of light a connection is created between the Pixies and the audience, initiating a real-time visual reaction of a Pixie on a user, resulting in an intuitive interaction.
Pixie is the result of a project from the mastertrack Robotic Building (previously known as Hyperbody) from the Faculty of Architecture and Build Environment at the TU Delft. This project reconsiders spatial experience, architectural spaces are mostly defined by larger and set volumes like walls, lines and planes, Pixies on the contrary are points in constantly changing positions. They define the negative space and through.
Pixie is the result of a project (project from the mastertrack Robotic Building (previously known as Hyperbody) from the Faculty of Architecture and Build Environment at the TU Delft) that redefines the idea of spatial experience. Architectural spaces are mostly defined by larger fixed elements like walls, planes and lines. Pixies on the contrary are points in constantly changing positions, they define the negative space and hereby create a different spatial experience. Due to their ability to interact with an audience, the audience re-shapes the size of the fixed.
