OVERVIEW

T-ROVER IS A ROBOTIC DEVICE DESIGNED BY THE MEDIA ART TEAM EVERYWARE. ITVISUALIZES BIG DATA GATHERED THROUGH A NATIONWIDE GPS NAVIGATION SERVICE SYSTEM (T MAP BY SK PLANET CO., LTD.).

BY ACCUMULATING DATA AS A FORM OF LIGHT IN A REAL WORLD SPACE AND PHOTOGRAPHING IT, T-ROVER VISUALIZES A COMPREHENSIVE ANATOMY OF THE BIG DATA. USING ITS MOTORIZED WHEELS, T-ROVER PRECISELY MOVES IN A REAL WORLD SPACE DISPLAYING SERIES OF CALCULATED TOMOGRAPHIES OF THE BIG DATA ON ITS GIANT LED PANEL, WHICH CONSTRUCTS LIGHT-SCULPTURES OF THE BIG DATA THROUGH THE BULB-SHOT PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUE.

THIS IS A SHORT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT EVERYWARE AND THEIR T-ROVER THAT WAS DIRECTED BY DEE SHIN. I WORKED ON THIS PROJET IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, AS A DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
