As a prelude to the "the Room" live event, this project draws inspiration from the ongoing issue of women's underrepresentation in the art world. By choosing a room as the backdrop and drawing from the activities within Ray Eames' domain, artists prompt viewers to contemplate the disconnection between societal expectations and the genuine impact of women.
Usage patterns shift throughout the week, with increased activity during deadlines and exam periods. Users perceive the space as a blend of a transitional corridor and an educational showcase, reflecting its multifaceted role in fostering learning, collaboration, and interaction.
I started by studying how people use the hallway. I installed cameras on the walls of the hallway and used this Unity I built to record them. I mainly recorded people's daily activities. I talked to people to find out where they are from, where they going to, how often they use the hallway, and what they think of it. But mostly, I just observed the direction of people's movements.
Following a 24-hour test, we discovered a relationship between the time period and the movement direction and flow of persons moving through the corridor. For instance, more people will travel to the elevator at the end of class to exit, and more people will use the hallway to walk to the public area as class draws near.
