INNER VIEW
Inner view is a physical installation that can sense the pulse of the environment through ground vibration detection. It captures people’s footsteps, resonance of machines, or any tremble of space.And it transfers these elements into a meditative metallic tone and illustrates the vibration into vector animations. It creates an immersive domain for people to forget about the external chaos of their surroundings and meditate on the spatial internal energy.
Design & Fabrication Process
The form of Inner view began as a blurry imagery in my head. It was constantly changing its appearance, until the moment I began to sketch it out. The definite lines of pen illustrate the outline of my imagination. It starts from simple curves, marking the position of the components of my piece.
The detected vibrations are mapped into vector-based animation produced through creative coding.
This project uses an ADXL345 triple-axis accelerometer to sense surface vibrations. The data is processed through Arduino Uno and ESP32 microcontrollers, then mapped to an RGB screen and a push-pull solenoid. By translating hidden vibrations into light and mechanical movement, the work reveals the subtle resonance of the surrounding environment.
Final Presentation
After sketching the surfaces, I built the physical volume with 3D modeling. The process of calculating the exact dimension of each element allows me to bring my inner view into reality. Each extrusion and support not only serves as a structurally integrated component but is also the expansion of each surface.
Throughout history, people have been exploring ways for spreading rhythmic energy through vibration, and for me, the Singing bowl feels most familiar and effective. It transfers rhythmic vibration into something people can hear and feel. The echoes pass through people’s bodies and cleanses their minds.The material selection and making is crucial since I must understand what kind of language and experience that material would communicate. As the piece is illustrating a meditative environment, the making process has to be careful. Hammer marks not only affect the sound, but also influence how the audience perceives the idea behind it.
