I was part of the curation team for the Gradshow exhibition. Responsibility: liaising with Hong Zhou and Carlotta Mottinary for their projects, and Mengdie Lu (part of the built team). First Meeting Second Meeting Exhibition Layout Changes Layouts produced by…
Method Used Research through design to me was the right approach for the project. It provided us with the opportunity to explore design areas that we would not have worked on if we talked to people from the real world…
Recognizing that our prototype aimed to cover too much ground in creating various experiences, we decided to focus specifically on the hive mindset within a group of people due to its creative potential. Our inspiration stemmed from projects exploring collective…
Prototype Iteration 4 The cycling reflective vest we purchased from Amazon closely matched the shape of our previous prototype, facilitating a smooth transition of equipment for us. Currently, for attaching the motors, Arduino, and battery, we are using tape reinforced…
Workshop event As requested by Romit, we planned a workshop involving people from the real world. He designed the activities, I made sure the event was advertised. Our reaching-out efforts for participants I emailed all London Cycling Campaign (LCC) Boroughs…
Body Heatmaps/ Mapping As suggested by Romit, we did a Body mapping exercise where we explored where the body is most sensitive to vibrations. Exploring the most sensitive spots on my head. Findings Overall, the patterns emerged quickly and centred…
Rebuilding the Circuit After visiting the Creative Computing Institute (CCI) and receiving advice on how we can make the circuit clearer, I rebuilt the setup implementing the feedback from the technician and following clear colour coding and layout for the…
Wearable (Prototype 2) Garment designed by Romit. The idea is to use the tape as a wireframe for the Arduino and the cables. Garment prototype designed by Romit – front While this provided a strong structure, by being one whole…
I began my exploration in the field (Hööks, 2018), discovering other works in the process. Hööks’ soma mat and breathing light caught my attention for prompting presence in the moment by incorporating objects from the immediate environment that adapt to…
Teaming Up With Romit As my research unfolded, I began to perceive a harmonious convergence between our perspectives of senses, realising that they could complement each other. Adding another mind to challenge my methods, question my readings, and contribute to…
