suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

Alper Derinbogaz +Ceyhun Derinbogaz: Gate_lab is a media space that can reconfigure itself in response to human stimuli. The ‘media space’ starts moving with or against you, to distort your speed thus creating a time wrap illusion. An interior LED screen is filtered twice to shape the light inside the space. The first layer is a white diffuser; the second layer is a parametrically patterned image of a forest visualized by linear cuts.

Beyond the existing Gate_lab interaction, it is an infrastructure for collaborative art. It is an evolving project. Gate’s behavior will be improving at certain periods to support the new forms of collective intelligence in a number of different fields including architecture, software and interaction design, gaming and more.
