I've found this on the internet before but have lost all evidence of my search. was wondering if anyone on here has seen something like this...
it was created by a design studio, on their website was a video posted showing how it behaved in a party-like environment. when someone would stand or walk near it the material of this system would react to the motion around it - similar to a bookshelf it had many linear surfaces with motion detectors built inside of it...
that wasn't it, though has similar reactions to environment. the project I saw is much smaller in scale and there is no light aspect to its design.
imagine: multiple planks connected to two (static) ends of 'shelf' the 'planks' are inches apart from eachother and are the parts of this structure that can sense and react to movement.
i was at the opening for that show and the wall was a bit underwhelming. when the gallery started filling up and people crowded around the thing it started reacting more randomly than the designers first intended. i can see it being a prototype for something much more exciting though.
are you doing precident research? i'd be interested to know what you're working on!

does this ring any bells?
You're probably talking about the
Aegis Hyposurface
Mark Goulthorpe
I think this was done in coordination with SIAL (Aussies)

could it be nARCHITECTS'
party wall?
could it be the "living glass" - carbon dioxide responsive silicone surface?

also check- interactive architecture dot org
????
YES! It was nARCHITECTS party wall! ...though it doesn't look as impressive as I remembered it to be...
thank you SEMI!
someone sets down their drink, thinking it's a bookcase....then it gets crushed.
Didn't Klein Dytham experiment with some similar idea?
glad to be able to help, isobol!

cloak and dagger -
thanks for the site, this will help with the materials research I'm conducting. if you have any more online linkers to pass along I would love it!
