Materialized Interactions is the beginning of a practice exploring how material qualities of space inform our interaction and experience within. Ephemeral and acoustic qualities are produced through interactions caused by the surrounding environment and human intervention. The qualities inform our interaction within space and create a material encounter for us to experience. Are we able to use ephemeral and acoustic conditions of space, reproduced within into a new situation to simulate the notion of another site?

​

Focusing on light, sound, and surface material qualities the body of work explores how interactions with these conditions occur within space. Through a documentation process, the work examines how we move and engages within space based on the properties that form it. It then considers how we can use the material conditions of space and reproduce them into a new interior to replicate to the experience of being in the original site. Questioning if inserting material conditions of one space into a new situation to simulate an experience of past encounter and that informs our interactions within the new interior.

​

The research includes a series of interventions and obversions that are documented through photography, film, mappings, and audio recordings. The documentation is exploring the changes within space that occurred over time. These obversion from the original site are then able to be manufactured and reproduced into new sites to simulate an encounter that is made accessible for anyone to experience. Through the replication of Ephemeral and acoustic qualities are we able to alter our interactions to conform to the conditions that surround us, transporting one space into another?
