1st Year Stop Frame Animation

This is just a stop frame animation me and Matt West did for our Moving Image workshop. A little clip inspired by the news.

Revisiting Anti-Social Lambeth

4 Months has gone since my intervention in Lambeth and I decided to give it a visit. I was a pleasant surprise that people were sitting there on my bench and someone has made my temporary fixture attach to the wall properly, as I only hooked it on while I executed the intervention.

This was the result I wanted as my intervention has created a respond. Therefore I decided to push the idea forward by adjusting the campaign slightly. I have created these Renovation Tags where people would attach them onto the fixture every time they renovate them. This creates a ‘conversation’ between the unknown people within the community, giving the park what it once lacked, the interaction between people and people, and the interaction between people and space.

Revisiting Aquaphobia

U'n'-Brella Spillage Absorber

Cutlery Guards

During the design process of this project, there were a few different ideas we touch on. Upon evaluation, I realise the outcome was too generalised and somehow lost in all these unfamiliar ideas, resulting in a product that has lost its narrative and became lifeless.

In an attempt to produce a alternative outcome, I decided to choose a different route and create a narrative for my objects. What would an existing product look like or function if it was made for extreme aquaphobia sufferers? The new outcomes are a range of household products (prototypes) that allow the users to look at, and ‘enjoy’ their fear through a comedic alternative outlook.

Cutlery Guards: Stop the juices of meat and sauce leaking onto your finger while dining.

Spillage Absorber: It absorbs the spillage from glasses before it reaches your hand.

WashingUp Armour: Fully covers your upper body for washing up.

Hand Dry Tooth Brush: The unique design allow the water to drip away rather then leaking onto your hand.

U’n’-Brella: An umbrella that allows you to decide you the amount of rain you have in contact.

After the midway presentations and feedback we received, we proceeded with an idea for a circular interactive seating area. We felt that the seating needed something extra in order to illustrate the whole concept of the Social Location technology, so we revisited our rejected concepts for elements we could glean. We decided to use the space within the ring to include an interactive floor to further attract and captivate the attention of passers-by.

· Initially the projection in the centre shows words randomly floating around.When a person sits down, the area around them illuminates and the words on the projection swarm towards them.

· When another individual joins them, the area around them also illuminates, as well as the space between them. Connecting them through light. The words are also attracted by the second person and form trails between them.

· The words ask and answer the question ‘What are you doing?” creating a fictional conversation.

The same principal applies when more people join the seating.

To quote Nokia:

“People want to be truly connected, independent of time and place, in a way that is very personal to them. And, Nokia’s promise is to connect people in new and better ways.”

Our idea captivates people’s attention by providing them with somewhere to rest in a busy exhibition, and an interactive experience which becomes increasingly interesting as more join in. By visualising connections through light and text it creates opportunities for interaction with unpredictable outcomes.
