Smile for London Launch Night

Me and Amy went to London for two days on the 13th January for the Smile for London launch night at the Museum of London, which was for a competition that Amy entered and was chosen as the overall winner! Pretty surreal for her and got to schmooze with some designer folk.

Then we had a nice peruse of Camden Town and spent a little too much money, it's hard not to in Camden.

Recorders by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

Photos from an interactive exhibition called Recorders at the Manchester Art Gallery by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

Amazing works which used heartbeats , sound, scanners, communication and projection to create an immersive experience.

AM/PM

Just finished this brief for uni, we were asked to take the title AM/PM and either create a title sequence for BBC4 or as I chose to create an interactive kiosk design.

I took this and adapted it to an installation based on the idea of space and time. I then decided to create the installation for the science museum as a way for kids to learn about the solar system, called "Solus". The installation puts you in the position of the planet, the interaction involves you walking on the floor interface and when you stand on the name of a planet it triggers the sun, represented by a wall of light, to be brighter or dimmer depending on which planet you have stepped on. Then at the same time the temperature of the room changes in accordance to the planet you are stood on

Then this is a video animation of how the floor interface changes when you step on a planet and trigger the interaction.

Interactive Design Sync Show

And here's a small video of the making of filmed by Jamie Gregson:


Went to the Interactive Design final year show on the 4th June, it was really amazing! They had an interactive turntable piece were you moved small circle shaped markers to change how a music piece sounded, as well as everyones work on an interactive website and another piece called 'Circuit Breakers'. It was a really great night and definately something to attempt to match next year!
