Expectation


The outcome of introduction of nuance is much more than i expected. What i've expected is no facial expression from visitor and only describe the changes as we ask them, and the elevator will be the summary and all of the senses they have experience throughout the installation.

Most of the people seems to notice and like the changes on their way to the path on second floor where there are color changes and sound the most.

Summary: Project nuance is my defenition of erotics, Nuance means a very settle changes which is a very slight degree of difference. So i took this and tried out experiments to create an installation which introduce nuances to particular space which could creates an unusual reaction from visitors.

Credit's installation drawings

After an experiment and research i came across and start to find the right location for installation and the stair at the back of elevator on the first floor seems to be very interesting. The first idea is to introduce all of the senses to this particular space. and enhances people to use this abandoned space more often

Smell introduction

Sound introduction

Touch introduction

Vision introduction

Temperature introduction

According to my diagram, and as you can see each are being categorize in different colors. This idea was then taken to create more experiment specifically on the site

Experiment 02: Sound

Speaker was introduced into elevator by using little speakers and playing different sounds inside and see how different sound creates different reaction to people.

Result to noise (White noise)

People notice since they walk in but the reaction to the noise is that most of them got annoyed by it and i was then later told to get rid of it

Result to music

So after the noise was introduced to the space the reaction from people are negative but then my idea is to turn negative space into positive space and i decided to use nice music to test for their reaction and the reaction from them is that some of them smiled and wanted to find out the source of the sound, which this means that it creates curiosity to people and this makes people wanted to experience the space.

Experiment 03: bubble wrapper stair

Not to distract and recreate whole new texture to the stair i've decided to test the reaction of people with first three steps of stair so that it could not be avoidable

Experiment 04: Smell

As we know food smells attracts people the most and so i wanted to try out how much or which area could effect people in surrounding areas the most, and as i've stated that my project is about nuance so i do not expect the reaction from people a lot.

Result of this experiment is people who walk pass the route with butter sprayed did not react to the smell but when i interviewed them most of them said that the smell was strong.

And after these experiments i took the result and introduce the sense that is most effective which are touch, smell, and vision (light)

Main point of my installation is to recreate a space which willchange their daily routine of using this path into something new and more attractive.

Location of installation is being located on the first floor connected with stairs to second floor.

1st floor

2nd floor

Installation is planned in a route which creates a loop so that visitor can then walk over the installation again whenever they want.

Installation starts with the introduction of smell which could attracts people, in this case from the experiment i continue to use butter smell to make the start of installation exciting and encourage people to walk inside to explore.

The next nuance visitor will experience is the texture and sound which will make them feel rush and walk through the stair quickly.

Second floor will gives a change mainly in color and sound

The last part of installation is the elevator where user will experience all the senses above but in a very strong senses. 

Credit's installation development: Transient

Location 

Space used for the concept of nuance in my opinion it should be a location where people uses normally but does not notice or aware of the changes of surrounding. So i started marking out spaces which could be used to make an experiment to people who are currently walking or using the passage as normal.

As you can see all the locations i've marked and create a diagram of where the nuance could be introduce, and it is very clear that most of the spots i've marked around the faculty are transient spaces which includes a lot of movement from surrounding.


Experiment

After choosing the right location to experiment with people i started to take experiment. This is to test for people reaction after some small changes.

Experiment 01: Elevator

The objective of this experiement is to record people reaction right after they enter a particular space with changes.

Following images are the changes made to elevator

Result

I tried to record the reaction of people by using video camera on phone not to make the record obvious
