Here’s my video documentation for my Paper Boats project (upgrade)! It’s a pity that the light detection wasn’t as smooth as I hope it would have been on the day of presentation, but nonetheless! I had fun and I hope you guys had enjoyed it as well. 
Here’s the video for final documentation!
Thanks for the footage for my documentation, y’know who you are! It has been a good run with you guys this semester. See y’all around!
Idea? Make a life size “origami” boat with cardboard to be placed at the fountain in ADM
Why choose the ADM fountain? Common place that we walk past everyday and take for granted.
Why a origami boat? It is something that we played with as a child and familiar to all of us. I want remind people to “play”, and not just be so engrossed in work.
Interactivity? Changing how we perceive the common space, and maybe even encourage people to get into the fountain to have a photo taken with it, etc.
Future digitalisation? Addition of lights at night, and maybe even a small QR code printed on the boat to have a video shown, or # on instagram to have people participate in it.
A class assignment on changing how our senses interact with our surroundings. Personally, I would feel that my primary and most important sense would be my sight. Also, this very basic privilege of the sense of sight is often taken for granted by many.
Having been introduced to glasses since I was 8, I hated anything that messes with my vision.
And hence to make people appreciate their vision more, I decided to do what I hate (haha), messing up other people’s vision. Instead of the typical frontal view that we were used to, I decided to have the class experience how fishes and other animals view, with their eyes on each of their sides.
In the video, in the little box I constructed, there were 2 mirrors that reflected the view of the left, and view of the right sides of the box.
The class was separated into two. The Wrappers and the wrapped. It was interesting to how we used Clingwrap differently for this exercise, wrapping ourselves together versus the usual wrapping of food.
Tension was then introduced in the later part of the exercise, where we were forced to stand closer to one another in order for this element of tension to be present in the group. The people who were wrapped then tried to create more tension by going in different directions, which ultimately we were then forced again to move back to our original proximity with one another as the cling wrap was too strong.
A short exercise in class where we were given a chosen object and asked to interact with it. It’s interesting to see how everyone interacted with the objects without being told what specifically to do, and for most cases, it was instinctive.
Here’s me and Cindy interacting with a wallet.
