There are many different things that make up the experiences that are created and felt by those that have Night Terror Disorder. The disorder can be amplified by an individuals sleep pattern; stress as well as they’re past experiences and memories. The key feature and aspect that I had chosen to influence the outcome of my project was the memory aspect of the disorder. Memory is something that plays a very important role in our daily lives, basic tasks such as walking or talking involves the use of our memories. The way we navigate a space is also dependent on our memory, especially if one of our senses is impaired. The concept of memory was key in this project, a new space was created and formed based on not only the memory of an existing space (when our eyes are closed) but also the data that had been collected based on the perception of the space and the sensations felt when navigating through the existing environment. The way the existing space was navigated, the different moments within the perceived environment formed the new spaces. Each of these “moments” was then combined at varying scales to create an entirely new space as a result.

The majority of the project engaged with me on a personal level as the spaces and the moments that were identified were based on my sensations, perceptions and memory of the existing space. The entire process of data collection was a result of my personal experiences when navigating the space, whether it was a directional change, a trip, the movements I had made in order to “feel around”, orientate, myself, the end result was a reflection of my perception of the existing environment. The 3d physical models I had molded were formed based on the sensations and data that had been collected when navigating the space. In order to further expand on this project more materials would be added to the models, to reflect the other senses that were felt. More material exploration would be made to replicate the vision (or lack there of) seen (or sensed) through closed eyes, the sources of light that could be identified through the eyelids. Other materials would be added to the moments to communicate the varying comfort and stress levels felt at different points throughout the moments.  The addition of the materials to the created spaces would lead to this project being on an even more personal level as it would be a clear reflection of the way I had perceived and navigated through the existing space with my eyes closed, and only relying on the memories I had made of the space.

The park got famous from a rumor in the town about the story of a mysterious structure that reflect the color and the mood of the environment, which later founded out that it planed to be a climate change observation center, but the construction goes wrong as the robot return primitive and is uncontrollable.

-in depression state (blue): when people experiences depression, people will have low energy, feel slow, and when they feel slow, they see more details. the blue colour makes it feel dark, as it is depression. The red part faded away.
