Nathan’s Unwarranted Pitch Critiques No. 20: Jolie

Jolie pitched From N to Z, a way of experiencing New Zealand tourist attractions virtually, without actually having to travel there. A virtual NZ environment scene is projected around the user, who can then walk around a smaller-scale version of a real NZ location.

But it’s not just projected onto anything - it’s projected onto a large-scale pop-up book, which I think is really neat!

Having said that, though, I’m not convinced that having people walk within a pop-up book is that great an idea. In my view, the book would inevitably be ruined, probably quite quickly, by people being too rough with it. And a pop-up book doesn’t exactly invite people to walk on it.

But those are kinks that could be worked out. This is a pretty creative pitch idea that would make a great exhibition at a museum (or wherever it would be put).

John Maeda  technology design art and leadership

In Maeda’s TED Talk How art technology and design inform creative leaders,  he informs us that technology as of now is on a loop. With the emergence of full-color images on computers than we had quality sound and after that, they were able to play movies through the city of ROMs and then moving forward to 2017,  we have iPhone iPad Android with text, video and also audio. What I get from this is that in a way Technologies limited by itself, therefore, he had to dive in the design, To better understand design without technology and how they would intersect.

In this talk, he used the content of beer and how could be seen two different ways to the structure what typeface the size the kerning of letters and how they showed a different meaning of vibe when looking at them. Taking the sun I see it as in an interactive technology system point of view as having that structure or methodology of design to use “change” as a key component of Interactive Technologies and systems. In the end, he does talk about systems a bit more where he shows his program power shop. What I learned from that is that systems have are something that is connected/works together to perform a job.There is this notion of hierarchy in a system that is diving in sub categories.

I am aware that I may have interpreted what he said wrong or nothing close to what he said but this is just how I see it from my point of view.

I realised, when reflecting on this video that is what we also do as a creative tech. We use accessible technology and use it a tool. Use design thinking to mold and shape our ideas and also how we utilise the technology that we’re using. Implementing art to ask questions. Being intrigued with the subject and challenging our views and perspective.

Nathan’s Unwarranted Pitch Critiques No. 18: Alex

Alex pitched Layers, a new kind of musical instrument. His idea was to separate musical instruments, such as a violin, into separate layers printed onto a membrane with a customisable image, to make instruments easier to travel with and cheaper to buy.

Unfornutately, I have no idea how it would actually work, or how I could play it. He brought in a prototype of a violin printed onto some plastic, but it didn’t look like I could possibly play it like I could an actual violin - it was still just a piece of plastic. He says each layer of the instrument would contain its own circuits, but he hasn’t said why it’s separated into layers, what each layer might do, or why it would need a circuit.

There’s not much more I can say, which is a real shame, but I just have no idea what Alex was actually trying to pitch.

Stories of a Daycare Employee #6

This post is just to make a point that I am 18 YEARS OLD and TOO MANY KIDS have asked about my (non-existent) husband and kids. like, What are their names? Where are they? Do they go to school or daycare too? It’s sweet, don’t get me wrong, but CHRIST KIDDOS CALM DOWN.

Installation often requires someone to do something interact with it. I think that perception plays a big part in the user experience. Learning how psychologically how our brains transfer different information
