Microsoft Design

Microsoft has been producing some excellent visualizations into the thinking behind their software lately. I love this new Microsoft because the message and principles behind the work they are doing are clear to the consumer of their software. They still lack the level of detail that Apple communicates consistently, but these are significant steps in the right direction for there business.

Firefly Drone Shows

Megaliths Light Motion Installation

The artwork is continuously rendered in real time by a computer program. It is neither prerecorded, nor on loop. As a whole, previous states never recur, and the artwork is continuously changing due to the movement of people. Every moment is unique and can never be seen again. The following artworks exist in the artwork space of the three-dimensional objects grouped in these bath house ruins.

When people approach the artwork, the flow of the water changes. The movement of people influences the artwork, causing it to evolve continuously, while the artwork influences other works. For instance, the water causes the flowers in the work Flowers and People to scatter.

Water is represented by a continuum of numerous water particles. The interaction between the particles is calculated and then lines are drawn in relation to the behavior of the water particles. The lines are “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be ultrasubjective space.
