Power by space is a collection of experiments done by Corpo-real students. Corpo-real is located in Zwolle, where students and tutors develop a research-driven spatial design practice geared towards an unknown future.
Research questionCan we bring the power back to the signs, by implementing them in playful ways into the interior of the space itself? Experiment After the experiment “Signs one”, results showed that the classic design of the sign does not work on human any more, even if being placed in
What is the meaning of having a HEALTHY BODY in relation to POWER in SPACE ?
In our exploration of power in space, we conducted an experiment focusing on the impact of social media on the body and mind. Filming our faces, bodies, hands, and feet while scrolling through Instagram, we aimed to raise awareness of the disconnection between our physical and mental states. This experiment
Research questionHow can sound inform wayfinding in space?Can the sounds from powerful places be applied to other spaces and have a similar effect? Experiment To answer this question we first had to understand what kinds of sounds we hear in everyday life that cause us to react in certain
Introduction We delved into the realm of smell and scents, exploring the unique concept of ”the aroma jockey”. Inspired by the pioneering work of Erich Berghammer, the inventor of scented clubbing, we set out to investigate the integration of scents with sound. Our research involved attending one of Berghammer’s performances
Testing privacy. When are we feeling safe? By playing with light and reflection, places are created where you are visible from one side and not from the other. This makes you feel safe.
Colors evoke emotions and associations, while abstract art removes fixed meanings, encouraging free thought. By combining these elements, this experiment examines how they inspire imagination. This experiment explores how color and abstract art affect imagination. Participants are immersed in a cylindrical installation featuring a vibrant abstract painting. They observe the
With this research we tried to explore new spatial embodiment.
Research question How can sounds influence our perception of a space? Can sounds have a calming effect when listened to? What do these sounds represent? Experiment Drawing to visualise the perception of the sounds. To explore this question, 5 people are requested to listen to 4 different sounds. While hearing
Research question What effects does an extension of our body have on our perception of personal space? Experiment By building a cardboard box around the waist of the researcher, the bodily movements were interfered with and so the researcher had to move their body based on the space the cardboard
Research questionHow are people’s behaviours influenced by the distance or the space size? Will obstacles in a place make the movement different? Does different amount of people will make the movement distinct? Experiment First iteration: through binding together the feet of the two researchers, the movement of the feet is
Research question How does senses influence choice of body movement in space? Experiment First iteration; Sensual Limitation in Dancing Scenario, certain conditions of hearing Inspired by the ArtEZ academic day workshop, Silent Disco, in which our hearing is limited by certain conditions, we further explore this question with our
TABLE OF EMOTIONS To investigate the subject of symbols in space further, we decided to translate the symbolic act of putting things on the table into a physical table in which emotions could be placed inside, so it would become a table that holds emotions. We worked with miniatures because
Research Question how to explore a city by its sounds and smells? Our research explored the sensory identity of Zwolle’s city center by focusing on how everyday sounds and smells shape our perception of public space. These sensory layers often go unnoticed, yet they are deeply tied to the rhythms,
We made a simple tent structure and placed it at different locations throughout the city of Zwolle. With this research method we could quickly take over a space while trying to find a sense of belonging.
Research Question: How do different elements of sound (speed, tune, quality) influence movement patterns and spatial perception in individuals? Experiment We conducted an experiment to explore the relationship between sound, space, and movement. Participants listened to different repetitive sounds produced by various objects, such as balls moving in circular patterns.
3 different places, two people with blindfolds, who didn’t know the location beforehand. The one without the blindfold led the people through the venue. Afterwards, those who had blindfolded described what they had observed and a sketch was made out of this.
This experiment aims to bridge the gap between physical and digital spaces by translating human body movements into a digital format using Grasshopper/Rhino scripting and a kinetic camera. By capturing and analyzing these movements, the study seeks to explore how physical gestures can be quantified and interpreted within a computational
By different perspectives you can explore the power relation between the people. While interviewing a photographer, we discovered that nature has a lot of power in itself. The light and shadow make sure that something is highlighted. Different perspectives also play an important role in highlighting certain objects.
Research question How does changing our sensual input affect our perceptions of a space? Experiment To first explore this question we focus our experiment on the sense of touch. When it comes to navigating and becoming familiar with space we often rely on sight and sound to get around. Touch,
This series of drawings is about basic adaptations of a simple tent. Within this research we tried to uncover what different adaptations of the same tent could mean for the social structure of a small community. We noticed that different shapes result in different gatherings.
Understanding the subtle nuances of nonverbal communication, particularly through body movement, can play a crucial role in interpersonal interactions. This experiment aims to explore how the fluidity of body movement, inspired by the elegant strokes of calligraphy, can shape and enhance communication. By documenting these movements through the medium of
Research question How does movements create the in between space of people? Experiment Personal space and in-between space. During the procedure, two participles base on the sounds of unpowerful space, making movements on the blank piece of paper. Besides, the participles applied the paint on foot in order to leave the
This research installation is our way to experiment with perceived reality. We tried to manipulate the participants in a soft and almost invisible way by mixing reality, a made up story, perspectives and times.
