 This project
explores the use of physical fixtures and objects to display temporal information
within an architectural space in a subtle and aesthetically pleasing way. Ambient
Fixtures present and communicate information through their changes in form,
movement,  sound,
color, and light. Ambient Fixtures are persistently connected to digital information
sources, continually displaying changing bits within the physical environment.
![]() Aesthetics is the major focus. Ambient Fixtures takes advantage
of physicality by using natural qualities of materials to output information.
Sensibility to material, form, movement, sound and light will be very important
in keeping the fixtures subtle and non-intrusive.
