Discovery
The user’s awareness of the environment grows through the use of its actionable properties. The environment provides guidance through vectors of beneficial action revealed by the interaction.
Bonding
The user encounters the environment intimately, as they are embedded in it. IS have minimal resource footprint in terms of e.g. cognitive and material resources.
Potential
The immediate system affords masterful action, including continuous re-framing of the user’s objective.
3.2 Examples
Awareness – IS stimulate merging of awareness and activity
In his text Video in Relation to Architecture, Graham describes the notion of immediacy in modernist art as follows: “A premise of 1960s modernist art was to present the pres- ent as immediacy—as pure phenomenological consciousness without the contamina- tion of historical or other a priori meaning”(Graham, 1993).Immediacywas thought to bring self-sufficiency and novelty: “The world could be experienced as pure presence, and without memory. Each privileged present-time situation was to be totally unique or new.”
Graham builtart installations thatconfronted spectators with mirror images and video feedback loops. He intended to critique the modernist notion of immediacyby demon- strating that it is impossible to locate a pure present tense. He noticed that the instal- lation challenged the spectator’s awareness. Temporal immediacyallowed the specta- tors to see themselves as both subject and object at the same time, a sensation that is usually visually unavailable. In this way the viewer was made aware of the difference between intended and actual behavior, immediately influencing future intentions and behavior. Due to the feedback viewers could enter a process of continuous learning. Since the intentions are interior to the observer and the self-observed behavior is ex- terior to them, the observer’s notion of interior and exterior self is challenged. The im- mediate mediation of images as provided by video/television takes on an architectural function, it permeates public and private boundaries between rooms and social classes.
