Eye Candy

“Eye Candy is a metaphor for our brain’s extraordinary elasticity-its potential to create new synapses and adaptto new sensory input, to substitute one sense for another, and to use additional sources of information to agument our experience in the world” Design and the Elastic Mind, MOMA

This is a candy with electronics inside. With a fine electronic grid placed on the tongue, you could suck on the sweet or lollipop and see beautiful explosions of colour.

StormRaiser

StormRaiser is an interactive installation born during the IxD lab2 (by Philip Tabor & Gillian Crampton Smith). Team project: Alice Lucchin, Camara Marina and me.
Our installation is for parties at the Magazzini del Sale, a large waterside warehouse in Venice. The interaction is caused by people’s excitement: the more they dance the more the environment changes.
