2.1 "In Search of Contoured Playground" Isamu Noguchi



Noguchi's interdisciplinary thinking attitude has led him to develop an experimental physical approach in which matter changes involving different spatial-temporal dimensions.

His control of scale makes his material intuition a terrain of exploration for the inter-scalar interplay that exists in the forms of his works. The materic approach cannot be separated from his ideas of movement of bodies within a space. Accumulations and matter acquire meaning in relation to the perception that the body takes on in relation to those spaces. Contoured Playground is a system of spaces built on different scales designed to continuously alter our perspective. The dynamically non-orthogonal topography makes possible a new technology of exploration, which by means of contemporary tools constructs an 'interactive dynamic spatial field'.

The 'modulation of the earth' of the quest for the new contoured playground starts with the use of square soil matrices, where the specific topography goes to create the dynamism of park models that can have infinite variations in relation to the initial datum belonging to the soil.

1.1 Write about the chat

If an environment can be described by the surfaces that define it, a chat is built on the interactions between different individuals who construct a space of mutual listening and request.

When chatting, one acts differently than when talking, because you wrap up. Wrapping becomes metronome-like. We wrap when we have an urgency to ask for something, to make a specific request that is constructed in a specific time. The length of a sentence constructed syntactically and grammatically by tenses and commas is part of a language in which tenses do not rule the language.

A chat room is a space where people are hectic. We tend to talk when we have time, and chat when we do not. In contemporary society, time grows, rapidly, and the chat space becomes energetic and heated, crowded with instant thoughts. What chat offers individuals is an empty and simple space, which grows in complexity and crowdedness as a request or an exchange takes place. The simple construction of the space allows it to be affordable by anyone, and it brings out the words. Chatting is different from speaking not only because of the space-time issue, but also because of the problem of expressiveness. A written word can take on multiple meanings from the tone in which it is read. Emoticons perhaps arise for this, as a side dish that makes it more or less tasty depending on the tastes of the person eating it. A homemade dish is generally built on the mutual knowledge of tastes and preferences of the people living the same environment.

Constructing each word as a CSS class, changing its style makes it possible to transfer the meaning of a word directly to its visual characteristics. behaviour in chat changes according to the perception of the word based on its visual construction, its intrinsic characteristics emerge from the visual relationship they create in space. offering the possibility of writing less while transmitting more. The time of the chat space accelerates, as meaning can no longer be transmitted syntactically but stylistically.
