SolarCircuit RAYsponse is a project with the aim to let the façade of an institution (= a meaning charged façade) express itself in the public environment. its two architectonic/technical elements consist of a solar panel and a proportional related image panel (“screen”). the dimension of the construction intends to change the common appearance of the building and how this is perceived. SolarCircuit RAYsponse is technically designed on a self-sustaining principle: what the solar-panel receives as light/energy, the screen can give back as light/image. the screen is made of “big pixel elements”, each represented by an illuminating field of approximately 18 cm x 18 cm (8 inches x 8 inches), which means that sent information/images change its meaning from “concrete-far” to “abstract-near”. it is important to note that the display elements are not expensive sophisticated technologies, but self made, recycled or/and invented composures of existing every day technologies (like realities:united realized for instance the media facade of the Kunsthaus Graz with ordinary kitchen-lights! the main reason why this 900m2 “screen” is still working perfectly we suppose!). the information displayed on the SolarCircuit RAYsponse screen is data streamed from mobile phones and its own website. an editor working as a "human filter" guarantees that the shown images or texts following a defined ethic guideline in order to prevent the broadcasting of any insulting, racist, sexual or other not tolerable content.
the project was “done” by c a l c. c a l c = Teresa Alonso Novo / Dani Gomez Blasco / omi (Thomas Scheiderbauer) and Malex Spiegel, an art-collective since 1992. for more info on c a l c please visit: www.calcaxy.com/works
