Kinectic Migrations
The exercise consisted in merging two different self-interest topics and generate a device to study and respond to these two phenomena. In this case study abstract Kinetic Art and Human Migration was chosen. We studied whether it should be a new plastic language or whether it should be something inserted in a context of current migration. The first problem was the lack of existence of kinetic art that reflected a figurative content. There are artistic expressions that speak in an abstract language lines, geometric shapes, etc., but not about human subjects or understandable content. The second problem to be addressed is the apathy of the people about the problem of current human migrations, its causes and consequences. These problems are usually seen in traditional media, social networks, etc, and this generates a custom and a limit on how a problem is transmitted. By observing the different media, languages ??and results in the current way of communicating these two phenomena, we find some gaps and points that can be connected via a single architectural action that is useful. We made a box of 3 x 3 x 3m panels comprised between 10 and 80 cm wide, which contained images of Wrod Press Photo of 2015- 2016 was established by expressing different realities. These facades are fragmented using kinetic art strategies for plastics results as vibration, transformation, fragmentation, etc. On the other side there are mirrors, to portray the reality of a time and a certain time. Also to engage the viewer and generate curiosity and mystery. When the device detects the presence of someone stealing the panels to show the reality of migration, negating neutrality contributing mirrors. In this way we want to trick the user into this duality arquitectonica. You can also enter the device and have a moment of personal reflection and isolation, which suggests at the same time between a healthy city and a present reality that has undeniable historical relations.
