Donal Judd | Untitled | 1984

This appropriation of the 1984 minimalist sculpture by Donald Judd is going to adjust the issue of the object responding to the space where it is exhibited in. My design question came from a quote about Donald Judd.

“Judd’s deliberate installations, and the sculptures that he created, indicate that he considered space itself to be a material just as essential as the industrial surfaces out of which his objects were constructed.”

This quote states that the space around the object is as or even more important as the sculpture itself. This saying I came to question myself. Can a sculpture or art object be aware of it’s surrounding and can it react to it. I came to look at ways how it can, via sensors scan it’s surroundings and respond to it. The data which is interesting for me is audience and the light. I think it would become interesting if the object would move with the light of what is most benificial for it and would work in it’s advantage. So the object would move around the area so that it can provide the best space for itself to be shown.

I will also appropriate the shape of a prism or box. Because this is widely used to store data. It being digital or physical. I think this shape is essential to show that it is an object that stores data and processes it.
