Assemblance（2014）
《Assemblance》是一个合作的沉浸式环境，充满了由人们的手势和动作塑造的三维交互光结构。
在当今动态的城市环境中，一个挑战是开发界面，通过响应技术实现即时的协作设计、建筑和空间重构。在《Assemblance》中，通过使用光作为物理材料，创建了一个完全沉浸式的互动增强现实环境，旨在构建参与和信任，让必须有时搁置怀疑以合作和共存的人们相互配合。
《Assemblance》在巴比肯数字革命展上
《Assemblance》是Umbrellium的巡回项目之一，利用计算机控制激光在空中生成三维形态，由人们用手、脚和身体操控。这是一个非常合作的体验，人们通过横扫的手势和轻柔的动作相互交互，留下光墙并围绕它们，在其中建造复杂的结构，或者小心摧毁它们。当共同建造时，结构更加稳定和有韧性，并有助于发现空间中隐藏的“彩蛋”。
借助网络城市基础设施的建筑和设计，《Assemblance》利用光来构建一种物理性的外观，通过它，不相识的人们获得足够的信任合作，共同建造精致、瞬息万变、发光的结构，其中私密而超局部的参与变得更加重要，我们对彼此的责任和过失的问题也以具有挑战性的方式被提出。

在19世纪，人们对“心灵”和“身体”的区别感到困惑，而现在看来已经过时。《Assemblance》作为一项构建参与的实验，问我们是否在21世纪，正在做出类似的任意区分，把“物理”与“虚拟”，“真实”与“想象”，“我的”与“你的”分开。

Assemblance (2014)
Assemblance is a collaborative immersive environment filled with three-dimensional interactive light-structures sculpted by people's gestures and movements.
A challenge in today’s dynamic urban environments is to develop interfaces that enable collaborative design, building and reconfiguration of space on the fly through responsive technologies. In Assemblance, a fully immersive interactive augmented reality environment made ‘real’ by using light as a physical material, the aim is to structure participation and build trust between people who must sometimes suspend disbelief in order to cooperate and co-exist.
Assemblance at the Barbican's Digital Revolution
Assemblance, one of Umbrellium's touring projects, uses computer-controlled lasers to generate three-dimensional forms in air that are manipulated by people with their hands, feet, and bodies. An intensely collaborative experience, people interact with each others' forms and spaces through sweeping gestures and gentle movements that leave walls of light behind and around them, building complex structures, or destroying them if they’re not careful. Structures are more stable and resilient when built together, and help uncover hidden 'easter eggs' in the space.
Drawing on the architecture and design of networked urban infrastructure, Assemblance uses light to construct a semblance of physicality in which people that don't know each other gain enough trust to collaborate on building delicate, ephemeral, luminescent structures, where intimate and hyperlocal participation becomes even more important, and the question of our responsibility and culpability towards each other is thrown up in challenging ways.
Assemblance and interview at the Barbican's Digital Revolution
In the nineteenth century, people were perplexed about the distinction between ‘mind’ and ‘body’, which now seems quaint. Assemblance, an experiment in structuring participation, asks us to consider whether we might, in the twenty-first century, be making similarly arbitrary distinctions in separating ‘physical’ from ‘virtual’; ‘real’ from ‘imagined’; and ‘mine’ from ‘yours’.
