Social issues are growing:
like carbon emissions melt glaciers, and people invest little time in solutions, etc.
These problems seem like just numbers,
but real people are behind them.
How can we raise awareness when numbers lose their impact?
Background of the research and existing problems
Crises have become a common phenomenon in today's society. When faced with a crisis, we tend to think that human behavior is the cause of the problem.
Purpose of research
The design to solve a crisis always runs after the crisis. Is it possible to promote awareness of the crisis before it comes?
Intent of research
Finding a new way to balance product value and importance. To make people think in a simple and interactive way
Directional focus
The importance of three directions
Time (eternal theme)
Efficiency, the passage of time, procrastination
Environment (serious problem)
resource pass, nature warning,
Relationship between people and nature
Life (force of life)
Power and choicelessness of life
Material Selection
Choosing a Material That Better Expresses the Story
—Ferrofluid
Process & Technology
Ferrofluid Experiment,
Normal and push-pull electromagnets,
arduino, hand-blown glass, 3D printing
Time passes and procrastination of this phenomenon should be worried.
Specific Product — Time
Electromagnet off-circle changes between digital magnets and magnetic liquids to realize the effect of falling, restoration.
If all numbers fall behind, you can recover by pressing the middle button.
Story and Significance
Reboot Means that time was dead, and time will
not give people a chance.
However, the time that has passed will not be regenerated with the rotation. (For example, if 1 and 2 have passed, and the device is reset from 3 points, 1 and 2 will not be displayed in the second rotation)
Specific Product — Environment and resources
Using the product simulates the relationship between the sun and SMOG.
Resource limitations and natural warnings should be affected.
Workwork For a certain period of time, the magnetic fluid begins to climb and extinguish.
When you use, inflate the base shock, the liquid falls, the light is on.
Story and Significance
When humans discovered that the smog was getting worse, they began to take measures to improve it. When everything was back to normal, people would forget about it again.
The environmental warning would reappear. This is a vicious cycle.
2D/3D Refinement
Structure
Specific Product — The power of life
The interactive interaction between people is full of vitality and brings simple resonance.
When inserted into a flower, sensor works. Electromagnets carry current irregularly, allowing the magnetic fluid to form a dynamicimage.
Story and Significance
Transferring the Vitality of Plants to Objects—A New Continuation
Summary of the project
Serious social problems can occur in a relaxed, more acceptable manner. It raises people's awareness before a crisis occurs. As modern society develops, the problem will only increase. I believe that this kind of interesting note will gradually be integrated into our lives, and design of reflection will appear on more and more topics.
