A short burst of news
It's been sixteen days since my routine flipped from one of 100-hour work weeks to one that can perhaps be best described by my last rescue time weekly email "Over the past week, you spent: 3h 5m at a computer". While my brain and body continue acclimatizing, i wanted to quickly mention three things:
1) Figuros
The final output of my thesis work is a product called Figuros – The Light of Your Life, designed from data, made with lasers. Based on the distance between you and someone you care about, the lamp is then laser-cut from wood, acrylic and colored card ready to take pride of place in your home. There's also an online creation tool if you'd like to see what your relationships look like.
2) Fresh Blood
Following our exhibition and presentation on May 4th, i've been given the honor of representing SVA IxD at this years AIGA: Freshblood evening on Thursday at the SVA theatre here in NYC.
"Fresh Blood is our 4th annual student event, capturing the most talented, most original, most awesome graduate design students before they’re unleashed on the wider world."
If you're in New York i'd suggest exploring tickets and further details at the AIGA site. Also, if you'd like me to come and chat about the project at your company / event please get in touch.
3) Leaving NY
After almost 4 years in New York, it's time to explore some new ground. On June 11, I'll be heading to Hawaii before ending up in San Francisco in the fall. Tash and I will be continuing the SVA IxD collaboration by focusing our time on growing Coastermatic and exploring new possibilities in co-created products and tropical cocktails.
I will save a more considered sum up for another day, as i'm about to head over to the Internet Tash Party, but that's it for now!
