THE IMPRESSION KEEPER
Millions of
photographs are taken digitally every day and are spread over websites and
servers. It could be said that people take photographs to be the reminder of
their identity in time. For an individual, a photograph is a valuable impression,
for someone else a photograph could be something very different. Photographs
are consider as individual’s “value of impressions” that identify each
identity. This project virtually integrate and bring impression and past
impression back into one hub that could be justify to individuals’ need. Millions
of “value of impressions” are spread all over in the world every day.
Visual perceptions
are like consistent snapshots that we put together. Our eyes processes information
every split second weather we know what it is or not. In order to perceive the world clearly, we have to stop and capture or analyse that moment still. Therefore people choose to capture these moments or impressions from photography. Exploring Bangkok is like taking 60
photographs every second. In these photos we see what we are intended and not
intended to see, depending on our chose of perception in that situation and
moment in time. (Reading Complexity) Impressions could be change according to the
choice of decision of how we perceive what we had confront in both objective
and subjective way. (In this diagram, the blue screens are the division of
interface between the thing and the people. What they had focus and extracted
would be imprinted on to the blue screen to indicate the choice of perception
and view point.) (Thing & Counter Thing) Separation of many small
objects are combine together to be one full experience like the warrior
elephant. (Grammar) We experience impression as a whole and not form one
single pieces. We don’t look at one
thing, we absorb everything at once. (Virtual Space)
The vantage
point changes the experience and attitude toward object. One whole impression
could be change according to time, position, side, and equip. (In the virtual
space, the visitor could move freely as if they are in the real world. The
space had been design specifically for the visitor to be able to experience and
perceive the thing and counter thing from different point of perception. The
visitor could interface the thing from different period of time base on the
position they are at. For example. The visitor could be in the present looking
back to the ceremonial happening in the ancient time. According to the division
of interface that imply intimidation, the visitor could be the least powerful
in the space also be the most powerful while being in the virtual space. (Virtual

(The
PraSriSanPet Temple is one of the main attractions of Ayutthaya, It is a must
for tourist or television media to visit the 3 famous stupas when coming to
Ayutthaya. Before in the “Ramatibade 1st” Period, this area used to
be a palace. However in “Trailoknark” Period, He move and rebuild the palace to
the North and turn this area to a Royal Temple to perfume ceremony. Therefore
there is no monk in the area. Later when Trailoknark died in 1492, the first
Jedi was built for him and his son; “Somdet Pra Barom Rachaterad 2” by his
younger son “Somdet Pra Rama Tebadi 2”. After that, the last Jedi was built for
“Somdet Pra Rama Tebadi” himself in 1499.) (The main site that people pays
attention the most is the Mondop own by “Trailoknark”. Tourist would walk in to
the temple and first stop by the information boot. They would look at the 3D
model and look up to the real temple and take their first snapshot of impression
there. After that, they would walk to the pathway and post to take their second
snapshots of impression. They would then continue to go up to the Mondop and
take their third snapshots of impression. This is the main circulation that
could be seen while visiting the site.) (Ayutthaya Diagrams)
Photographs are
collections of impressions. How could we go back to choose the impression that
we want and is requisite to our moment in that time? Hence, a hub that could
help us find these “valuable impressions”. What if this hub can help us seek the
past impressions we want?
Creating a
virtual hub, The Impression keeper could track down impressions and past
impressions and display it within the frame that we want. It is like a 3D
sharing network of experience and photographs. People could come to The
Impression Keeper to look at other’s people past impression or purposely
create their own impressions to be display to the world virtually and 3 dimensionally.
Having The
Impression Keeper, it would enhance a new experience and objectives of why
people want to come to The PraSriSanPet Temple. Their new aim would be to come
to the site to create impressions or to revisit the past impressions created by
people from the history. People would come to create an artificial impression
that deals with the history of the site. Photographs are collection of elements
and fragments. Being in The Impression Keeper, we could extract and
display or hide what we want or not want to see from the projected photographs
of past impressions and present impressions. The elements could be split up and
quantify to the specific needs. Millions of impressions will be projected on to
the exact location that it had been taken. Therefore, there will be overlapping
of different impressions base on different period of time. Instead of using a
3D scanner on the site to collect these data, we use people’s natural desire to
create impression to collect the data instead. With The Impression Keeper,
we could extract elements and fragments to know all the data like the 3D scanner
such as the circulation, weather, birds, decay, movement, and experience. (Virtual
Space; Ayutthaya)
When entering The
Impression keeper, the visitor will have a case that would be attached to
their camera device. This camera tracking device will be link to the sensors
all around The PraSriSanPet temple. Therefore, as soon as the visitor create an
impression, that impression will automatically be save to the data with the
information of time, location, and identity. This data would be collecting all
the impressions and save to the server and could be share and view anytime and
anybody. This technology would create a new experience of visiting space and
increase the purpose of visiting a specific space. It could be brought to
tourist attraction, role playing, conservationist, and etc. (Virtual
