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.

The Inside Light

These are from a project called 'Inside Light' which is a collaboration between Cinco and Chris Hornbecker. They photographed creative people who had to define their inspiration in one word, they then transformed the words into light boxes and then flashed so they would leave a reflection in the photos.
I really like the final photographs for this project, especially the first, which has 'thief' reflected in his eyes, its a really subtle inclusion of the text and fits with the overall look of the photo. I also think the concept is really good and makes the photos more interesting as the words reflected mean something, which is personal to those in the photos.
Also the flash website for the project is nicely designed, using a book format and illuminating the words reflected in the photos

Bom Design Book Lights

These are a series of lamps by Bom Design and are made out of old books.
This concept is really clever and is a great use of unwanted books. The final lamps look great and now work on a completely different level compared to what they were originally printed for. I especially like the wall light, where they have open the book out and put the bulb in the centre, which highlights all the individual pages.

I would love these in my house!
