DMS 551, Physical Computing, introduces basic concepts and techniques for designing, constructing, and programming objects, spaces, and media that sense and respond to their physical surroundings. Students this semester are working on a variety of incursions into physical space, the first of which is the focus of this installation: narrative circuits. Taking our cue from Anthony Dunne’s assertion that many of the technological media we encounter are post-optimal in nature – deriving their significance less from their affordances and more from the stories created around/about them – participants have been charged with building fully-functional useless circuits rendered in a Manhattan, or otherwise volumetric style. The accompanying narratives contextualize the circuits within a cultural dialogue. Viewers are encouraged to interact with the media.
