Transformation #2 is a standalone application for Palm OS devices. It is the second animation in a series of work created specifically for mobile devices, From the Edge. The project investigates various capabilities of palmtop devices such as infrared communication, wireless networking and its intimate space.
The concept of origami was chosen for the animations for its contribution to the ideas of transformation, change, and the hand-made duplicate.
The animations can be recieved by anyone using a Palm OS-based PDA by placing the device next to the installation. The display runs a continual beam search, and when a device is detected, the animations are sent via the IR port. The animations can then be downloaded and executed by the recieving unit.
The file may also be downloaded to the Palm desktop and hotsynced or beamed from another device.
