S-OS: ten'segrity

About ten'segrity

The tenosegrity Application allows visitors to the S-OS exhibition to submit camera phone portraits to the tenosegrity database via Bluetooth. Once submitted their portrait can be interconnected within the tenosegrity collective, each connection can be weighted using a simple star rating to indicate levels of familiarity and seperation.

Subsequent interaction with the application reveals the social tensions that bind a community through the dis/con-tinuous push/pull forces of tension and compression, or attraction and repulsion.

The integrity of the tensions captured within the tenosegrity application provides a numerical value of social synergy and degrees of separation. tenosegrity outputs the value of the synergetic forces within these volatile social relationships.
