Design Development // Interim review 12/12/13

“What''s a crit without a technical glitch?”

Despite the very awkward (walking to another room to fix the) technical fault regarding the video to projector setup during my presentation (!) the day was informative and educational to say the least! 

The design process is again leading to new thoughts and developments, given some expert advice from the 'Usual Suspects' and the two guests speakers from the AA and UCL.

Main questions posed:

Is the framework over engineered? could it be constructed more simply and still enclose an immersive experience? 

What message does the riot information projection convey? can it be refined?

Aiming to capture the essence of human interaction through an ephemeral collection of imagery via a visual feedback loop posed the questions of execution and structural simplification.

Following my prior studies and experimentation with varied materials, the most successful in transmitting light through layers has proven to be the medium gauze linen; excellent in allowing for fluid movement as well as the ability to be pulled taunt. The above video illustrates the diffusion of image projection through the 3 hand made screens.

Experimentation // Interim review 31/10/13

"The video trip.. Life inside the loop"

Set with the desire to develop a greater mutual user/environmental relationship, the design of an ephemeral framework via a simple user interface aided in the observation and exploration into interaction. I began to examine the relationship between movement and projected images both physically and digitally through the documentation of visual stills and description.
