This piece was installed in the V&A’s John Madejski garden in Winter 2006 it used the humans as an interaction element, creating audio and video output, as people walked through the space each column would respond to you.
It seems like recently whenever I go to do some research for my blog every project comes back to this one, Volume, I really wish I had been aware of this so I could have seen it when it was in place. Its such a simple idea but very effective, I would like to see them have used it in other ways though, for example taking the concept of Monolith one of their other projects where it repels you using its light and sound effects which become more and more imposing the closer you are, it could give personality to each column.
