Familyography
Visualizing
a Portrait of Tactile, Chromatic and Audible Definitions
Abstract
While
physical geographies and personal differences dictate our daily schedules,
truly we are all running together, experiencing life in parallel. A family portrait is visualized in three
perceptions to extend the efforts of the traditional still-photography, family
portrait. These perceptions are crafted
from the physiological arousal of individual family members throughout their
daily routines. Activity and emotion are
combined with the visualizations of a family, created through a topographic
surface (a tactile experience), a field of color (a two dimensional reading),
and a composition of sound (an engaging, space activating interaction). This is our experience, a familyography, visualized
through an emotivescape, chromascape, and phonoscape (or, that of topography,
color, and sound).
