unglu [ŭn-glōō'] to separate or detach as if overcoming an adhesive agent: to unglu a sticker from a wall.

This design blog is a collection of architecture, art, media and objects that detach, float, hover, suspend, unglue and locate in the air. They come in many forms: augmented reality, light, particulate, projection, physical pixels, solid, and virtual. They involve the extremes of space and physical interaction, and present themselves with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Memory Cloud

Memory Cloud is based on smoke signals, one of the oldest forms of visual communication dating back over 5,000 years. Created by Minimaforms, an experiential architecture and design team, Memory Cloud transformed London’s Trafalgar Square into an ambient and responsive environment by provoking an ancient form of communication and using it to facilitate a modern adaptation. The project explores the dynamic and spatial abilities of both smoke and light through public text messages. Participants are free to communicate a public message by sending a text to one of two smoke signals. These messages can be sent from remote locations and displayed for the audience that is present.  The fluid messages of light and smoke allow the audience to walk-through the words and interact with their entire body.
