Made in Chelsea

Traces is a visual summary of work created during the MA course Graphic Design Communication at Chelsea College of Arts, London. The self-bound book contains a collection of experiments and case studies exploring a notional character of reality. The cover and tipped-in pages use renderings of the project Bream Street. The programme consists of a generative system of tiny particles that follow invisible targets, never fully reaching them. The idea was to make something hidden perceivable by depicting its traces. The veiled objects thus become visible retrospectively through the adjacent particles they attract.

In Between is a data-driven installation exhibited at Chelsea College of Arts, London. The programme continuously searches for location-based messages in Twitter and analyses the results with regard to positive and negative attitudes. The shapes presented are constructed according to the feelings around the viewer at present time. The emotions detected control how each element relates its neighbours. Every frame displayed is a unique rendering of a specific location.

Found some drafts for the invitations to my degree show. Can’t believe it’s a year already!

Enter the Void is an interactive installation showcased at the exhibition 6°GDC at Chelsea College of Arts, London. It explores the idea of manipulating the physical environment through movement harnessing the conductive properties of the human body. A touch sensor, made from a standard art canvas coated with electric paint, controls the digital projection and sound. An Arduino board measures the body’s capacitance and sends the incoming values to a Processing sketch which translates it into shapes and sound. The resulting piece heightens the user’s awareness of the inherent relationship between human occupation and its cause and affect on our surrounding environment.

Plato associated four regular solids with the classic elements earth, air, water and fire, as well as one polyhedron with the Devine. I built a cardboard model of an Octahedron and placed in on crumbled tissue paper to createa bizarre landscape, symbolising an alternative reality on top of another. The quote by philosopher Rudolf Christoph Eucken relates the struggle for reality to the meaning of life itself.

Our work in progress show at Chelsea three weeks ago was really successful. Even the meanest people said it was great! I got lots of compliments on my work and nice feedback from the industry experts. Apart from technical refinements I should improve the relationship between my posters and the interactive piece. Moreover, rather than having a black canvas on a plinth, the touch sensor could be even more engaging and tactile.
