Assignment 06:

Attempting to analyze all of the sensorial aspects around me through an abstraction of my physical self as receptacle of sensorial input.

Thinking about how sensorial perception of materials is shaped by the environment they exist in. A warm wood bench in a sun ray is a pleasant experience to find ones self in while that same bench on a colder rainy day could find one feeling damp. Sensorial perception is then not only about the objects that inhabit a space, but how external forces impact how those perceptions are relayed to us.

For this portion of the analysis I attempted to use a LIDAR scan from my iPad as a way to capture space and thus annotate more clearly on it the sensorial aspects of the space I was in. Using this scan as well would allow one to revisit the sensorial pocket of space they were in previously and re-examine the conditions they found themselves in. To notice again the perception of the concrete paving stones, blotchy with moisture from that mornings rain. A streaky wood grain turning green from moss in portions. And a cold metal armrest, reflective of the mood of the day.
