Progress update: ‘Plastic Waste’ part 2
Hello! So the past week I was learning Arduino on the web, researching on the inflatables and as well as watching Arduino tutorials. It’s been a challenge to get started as I haven’t been exposed to Arduino yet. Thankfully, the online tutorials were quite helpful and I managed to piece everything (correctly). Also, with the help of Prof LPD, I… Read more →
Progress update: ‘Plastic Waste’
As I was brainstorming on my final project – ‘Plastic Waste’, I wanted to find a way to reduce the amount of cooling fans used. Therefore, I came up with this idea of attaching a vacuum to one of the end of the pair of fans. And through that vacuum, I connected a 3 long tubes with a warp connecting… Read more →
The waste of plastic
So here’s my documentation of Interactive Spaces’ Installation – ‘The waste of plastic’. I ended up following through the idea of plastic waste, which I spent the entire recess week searching for used & smelly plastic bags from wet markets. I chose wet markets over supermarkets because of what I observed – Buyers from wet markets often use more than… Read more →

I know that you have heard it a thousand times, but it’s really a good way to protect our environment today. Fortunately, more and more people today shows up to the supermarket/stores with tote bags. This concept came… Read more →
Mini Assignment 2: ADM+FX
The theme of this mini assignment 2 is to create site specific augmented walk. We were given the example by Alter Banhof’s The video walk. One of the requirements was to not create a film with narrative and voice over. My concept is to create and add something special to the space that we are all familiar with. Using visual effects, I… Read more →

Final: The Aquarium Experiment
And so, I have come up with a new idea that got inspired from my draft idea – ‘Fish tank Goggles’. I wanted to do more than just a goggles with fish tank stuck on it. So I thought, why not try to feel that I am inside an Aquarium instead? In this final construction, I decided to do more… Read more →
Draft idea 2/3: Kaleidoscope/ Periscope
Since young, I was intrigued by mirrors and different patterns. I remembered when my parents bought me a Kaleidoscope in my early years and I played with it for hours, thinking how was the Kaleidoscope made. This project gave me a chance to explore and build stuff to alter our physical senses. Both Kaleidoscope and Periscope could do that, but… Read more →
Draft idea 1: Fish tank goggles
In week 4 of Interactive Spaces class, we were tasked to come out with devices that can alter our physical senses. My first instinct was to create something that have to do with the sense of sight among all the 5 senses. I got inspired by some of the examples of ‘See yourself sensing’ book by Madeline Schwartzman. My first idea: Fish… Read more →
