The 3rd semester Interaction Design students will create a light installation for the Zauberwald festival 2018 in Lenzerheide. The project will be part of the Physical Computing and Interactive Visualization courses. As the project is supported by Energiewerke Zürich (EWZ) we will take the topic of "Renewable Energy" for the installation.

Partner

EWZ produces and delivers energy in Zurich and Graubünden and also powers the festival with 100% renewable energy.

...

Each input object embodies one of the energy sources as an abstract, minimal, symbolical interpretation. The visitors should be able generate "power" by interacting with the object which can be aligned with the actual way of generating that power or in a more simplified fashion. The objects will emit the a value between 0% and 100% 0.0 and 1.0 representing the capacity of generated power, 0% 0.0 meaning none and 100% 1.0 meaning at full capacity. As the light installation will be presented in harsh weather the objects must be solid, rugged and fit for snow and water.

In the second phase, the students will create a visualization that is projected on a big circular screen in the forest. The visualization harnessed harnesses the data emitted by all the objects and may for example show the different efficiencies of the present energy sources. The visualizations are played after each other and may deal with the same or similar topics. Every group should develop their own visual style that fits the "magical" forest scenery. An additional poster will present the used data, visualization approach and process of each visualization to visitors that are more interested in the project.

...

• Every energy source is represented twice. This means that the power is relative to the available capacity. For example, wwo solar objects at 40% and 70 % would produce in total 55% of the total capacity.To accommodate different usage patterns we will always take the higher power generation value for the input to the visualization.
• The visualizations are played in order and repeated. Each visualization gets three inputs: the current capacity of water, solar and wind power.

Goal

...

Format & Constraints

The physical objects must be self-contained and have the size of 40x40x40cm. Each object sends its value over MQTT to a separate topic e.g. "/object/awater1".

The visualisations are Processing sketches that work with a resolution if 1080x1080 pixels. The sketches will be invoked with the following function:

void viz(float ttime, float asolar, float bwater, float c, float d, float e, float fwind) {
  // t: time from 0 to 1
  // a, b, c, d, e, f: object energy values from 0 to 1
}

Titel: 
Quellen der Energie

Projektbeschrieb (Web + Print):
Pusten. Leuchten. Plantschen. Wieviel Wind muss wehen? Wieviel Sonne muss scheinen? Wieviel Wasser muss fliessen? Erneuerbare Energien wie Wind, Sonne und Wasser sind das Thema der diesjährigen Module „Physical Computing“ und „Interactive Visualization“ des Studiengangs „Interaction Design“ an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. Sieben Wochen lang setzen sich die Studentinnen und Studenten des dritten Semesters mit physikalischen Eingaben und visuellen Ausgaben auseinander. 

Personenbeschrieb (Print): 
Geleitet werden die Module von Luke Franzke, Joel Gähwiler, Prof. Jürgen Späth und Timo Grossenbacher (Theorie) in Kollaboration mit EWZ Elektrizitätswerk der Stadt Zürich.
