SPACE INFLATERS-

In the previous week, we experimented with numerous ways of con-structing internal cylinders to arise and then withdrawal the air. This creates a unique atmosphere, where the small cylinders become the lunges of the dome, and as a spectator you feel the dome slowly inhaling. This hypnotic state/trance is one of the main goals for us to obtain for the most fascinating spatial sequence to occoure. While working at Mols in was obvious that the changing of scale had a big impact of the internal lungs. Also the relation to our nabour inflators was taken to consideration, since how you perceive a space is determined by how you arrive at it. This made the entrance an important part of creating a smooth transition from the neighbour inflating structure to ours.

Our super ordinate structure takes the form of a cylinder and forms the roof over three smaller cylinders. Work is thus with a room within a room. Therefore, it is possible to stay in both the small and the large volume, thereby forming the smaller volumes (the negative space). The entrance is split up, whereby the one opening to the smaller volumes, and the second opening to the large volume. It is only possible to keep one entrance open at a time, which leads the air from the main street into one or the other. If the air is only lead into the big volume, the small room will thereby be vacuum packed, and only when the air is redirected back to them they will expand and alter one’s pattern of motion in the great room. This leads to our main intention, a changing spatial sequence. Throughout Mols we kept the initial studies of a fluctuating spatial sequence, where spectators can experience an inflatable trance!
