My bedroom window, being the subject of mapping and investigation, is characterised by a sectional view through my appartment as recorded in the video 'Mapping the Intangible'. Placed on first floor it offers a exterior view from the balcony into the bedroom and from the bed and desk out to the surrounding area.

Even though it is placed in the city, the window is characterised by a great view of open sky from the right angle. Nevertheless this view is disturbed by surrounded walls and other appartment’s view into my room.

When designing a apparatus for this specific window in the following weeks, the challange will be to create a flexible  device that  corresponds to the need for being private, at the same time as being able to follow the surrounding, changing atmosphere in the sky.The purpose of the device will be to expand the view of sky into the building and thereby make it adjustable for different situations, from different vantage points. This will include views from the kitchen and out,  through the different layers of the rooms , from the bed at night, for a daylight purpose from the desk, and finally from the exterior view from the balcony and inwards. Taking these different situations throughout the daily cycle into account, the device will correspond and interact with the user.
