秋千時光是馬薩諸塞州會議中心管理局城市更新計劃“D上草坪”的一個臨時裝置。秋千時光將功能和美融為一體，突出了能源利用與游樂，以及能量生產與消耗的方式。這個城市游樂場由18個懸掛在特制太陽能頂篷下的旋轉澆鑄成形的聚丙烯秋千組成。秋千時光采用獨立的供電系統，消耗由一系列光伏電池收集的太陽能，這些電池同時又會將紫外線轉化為電子照明。

這個游樂場會實時響應環境的狀況，并以照明體現每天收集的太陽能。整合在頂篷中的光伏電池會在白天收集和儲存太陽能。整合通過自動化系統，積累的能量將傳給秋千內的LED燈。這種“直接驅動”的用電方式使能量的消耗與生產保持一致。每個秋千內的加速傳感器可直接響應使用者的加速力和傾斜度。當秋千從靜止開始加速時，微型控制器就會按從白到藍、再到紫的漸變過程調整LED顯示。

秋千時光的響應元素讓使用者相互交流并與秋千互動。公眾娛樂由此形成了一個社區實驗室，并提高了人們關于能源消耗和生產的意識。秋千時光將紫外線轉化為視覺效果，顯示出太陽能的充足和利用情況。（尚晉 譯）

Swing Time is a temporary installation located within the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority's urban renewal initiative, Lawn On D. The integrated functional and aesthetic properties of Swing Time foreground energy use and play, as well as a means of production and consumption.The urban playscape is composed of 18 roto-molded poly propolene swings, which hang under a customfabricated solar canopy. Swing Time uses a standalone power system that generates and consumes solar energy harvested from a series of photovoltaic cells that translate UV rays into electrical illumination.

Responsive in real-time to environmental conditions, the playscape's illumination corresponds to daily accumulation of solar power. Photovoltaic cells integrated into the canopy capture and store solar energy during daylight hours. Through an automated system, the accumulated energy is disseminated into LED lights housed within the swings. This "direct drive" electrical application allows energy to be consumed concurrent to its production. Accelerometers contained within each swing directly respond to the acceleration forces and tilt exerted by users. As the swings increase in momentum from a static position, a microcontroller adjusts the LED output through a gradient scale from white to blue to purple.

The responsive elements of Swing Time invite users to interact with the swings and with each other. Public play creates a community laboratory and raises awareness of energy consumption and production. Swing Time translates UV rays into a visual register that indexes the abundance and applications of solar energy.

評論

郭屹民：集成了功能與美學的月牙狀秋千盡管依然可以讓人有更多身體的適應方式，但顯然設計師具有傾向性的設計給出了最適合的解答。同樣，依靠光伏能源的自發光系統也使得夜晚浮游的月牙顯出最為靚麗的姿態，那要遠比白天的景致來得精彩許多！

朵寧：我對霍韋勒與尹這對組合最開始產生印象，源自于他們早期的一個設計：防御性短裙。穿著者身上裝有距離傳感器，當別人距離過近時，傳感器被觸發，裙裝里隱藏的骨架像雨傘撐開一樣支起，形成防御的姿態。

秋千時光這個設計也是他們的典型項目。傳感器技術把可再生能源可視化，并和使用者的娛樂互動完美結合。

其實最吸引我的，還是他們項目中一直彌漫的某種現代社會人的憂郁氣質。自動防御的裙裝是一對一的警告；秋千時光這個在黑暗中搖曳的月亮秋千，依靠多人組成燈光陣列，秋千的擺幅則區分出不同顏色。兩者的共同點是：用技術代替人的溝通。不再需要對話，交流由傳感器和燈光完成。這種娛樂很極客。

Comments

GUO Yimin: Though there are many other ways for people to adapt their bodies to the crescent swing that integrates function with art, apparently the designer provides the most appropriate answer by his design with inclinations. Similar, the self-luminous system relying on photovoltaic energy gives the crescent shape the most attractive posture at night, which is much more splendid than its delicacy in daytime!

DUO Ning: I got the first impression of H?weler + Yoon from one of their early designs. The Defensible Dress was an installation in 2001. The dress is equipped with a distance sensor on the wearer's body. Once the sensor detect someone entering the personal space zone, a series of mechanical quills are activated like an umbrella to define the space around the body.

Swing Time has the same characteristic. An automated system together with motion sensors visualize the harvested solar power and integrate the user behavior.

I am attracted most by a consistent melancholy in their design. The Defensible Dress is a one-to-one alarm. Swing Time is an array of swings illuminated like moon in the dark. A group of users create the moon matrix and accelerometers differentiate each other by light. In both projects the communication between people is replaced by technology, and interaction is achieved by sensors and gadgets. It is a new geek way of entertainment.
