#016 ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ at Beyond Media 2009

016_0-beyond-media-1-low-resI was invited by Nous Gallery to create something for Beyond Media 2009 International Festival of Architecture and Media held in Stazione Leopolda in Florence, Italy.  In just two months, working in collaboration with Shajay Bhooshan and Phil Langley [software coding], I designed and made an interactive installation looking at our subconscious response to images of architecture, .  The installation aimed to find trends relating to types of buildings people found interesting.  As a baseline I interviewed two people to use as trendsetters, Kieran Long, Editor of the Architects Journal and Sunand Prasad, President of the RIBA to get their thoughts on the images – whether they thought the buildings/images were of importance to architecture.

Working is progressing on version 2.0 – better software, more screens to look at and buttons to press.

#033 Steel rope bench at the Clerkenwell Workshops

033_0-steel-rope-bench-01-low-resI created a small prototype of the steel rope bench concept for the Nous Gallery exhibition, digital intuition, at the Clerkenwell Workshops.  The bench was there for just over three weeks and was enjoyed by people of all ages, including a group of delighted kids using it as a climbing frame.  I’d like to thank Burohappold for all their hard work with the structural design and Nous gallery for inviting me to exhibit.

I’m now working on scaling up the design for a much larger space.
