Park View Hotel
Ashok Sukumaran (IN)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Interactive Art. Golden Nica.”
Park View Hotel is an environmental artwork stretching between the Cesar Chavez plaza in downtown San Jose and the neighboring Fairmont Hotel. Using specially built pointing devices, audiences in the park can access interior hotel spaces, by “pinging” them optically. Once found and hit, the interiors release their properties into a wireless network… and so the color of the interior propagates stochastically, leaking out of the building skin, jumping across the street and into the street-lighting system in the park below. In this way, the park enjoys a certain access to the hotel, inverting the normal construction of their relationship.
