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 →
Pitching ideas
For the individual project, I am thinking of doing a project that can bring attention to the environmental issues associated with plastic bags. It will be an installation of plastic bags, where the idea is to show how plastic bags with colorful, eye-catching advertising are appealing at first but eventually begin looking decrepit when dumped in the trash and left to… Read more →
The Tiller Girls
“The Tiller Girls is a group of 12 small autonomous robots. These robots were developed in Artificial Intelligence for the study of gaits given minimal freedom of movements. The robots can only balance their torsos and shoulders but they can yet achieve a large variety of expressions and behaviors.” I think it is interesting that this work was ‘inspired’ by… Read more →
Analog Project: Plastic Bags
Have you ever wonder what happens when we throw plastic bags away? Have you ever heard of this phrase: Reuse, reduce & recycle?

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.

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 →
