This installation entitled "Cyan Shift" is co-created by Jayanne English and Emily Gong for the 2019 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB) and exhibited in the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning (Dec 2019 - Apr 2020).
Cyan Shift, Installation: autonomous bus data, scientific visualization, fishing line, acetate, oil paint, spotlights, lasers, 2019.
"Cyan Shifts" explores how 5G and autonomous vehicles will transform the road and data infrastructure of the future cityscape. Equipped with a 360° perspective, self-driving vehicles see in an organized 3D code space, which includes distance and velocity vectors. Professor Jayanne English’s method of scientific visualization analyses and visualizes certain dynamical characteristics of galaxies for her astronomy images used by NASA and other major observatories. This method is applied to a model dataset of the proposed autonomous bus route at SUSTech in Shenzhen. This installation uses the same parameters of position and velocity from model data and visualizes them in a 3D space to create multi-dimensional data encoded layers, forming ‘data cubes.’
The blueshift and redshift (used by NASA) describe how light shifts toward shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (i.e. galaxies) move closer or further away from us. The concept is key to charting the universe’s expansion, and in our installation, capturing the signatures of autonomous vehicles in the techno-future of the city.
