Where Have I Been?

engraved stones, videos, installation
250x200mm

This project was initiated after experimenting a Google Chrome extension which gives users the opportunity to track the path of your mouse movement, while they surf through websites. With this tool, we brought the digital footprint onto stones which is one of the oldest materials were used as medium for communication. By translating impermanent like mouse movement on something permanent, it creates a contrast between the trace one leaves on a website and the fossilization or monumental registration of carvings in stone. The whole process was documented on videos installed as an installation.

The Richness of Black & White

polystyrene, silkscreened on fabric
500x500mm

The Richness of Black and White is a project based on the topic ‘the richness’ in collaboration with Selina Landis. Not only is food rich and complex in it’s texture, smell, taste, origin, also the event of a differ is full of traditions, connotations and elements to design, all strongly related to spatiality. In this edition we approached the dinner rather traditionally, the table display and design layout are quite classy for western culture. This simplicity allowed us to focus on black and white, and how it manifested in different materials, shapes and tastes. The publication is divided following the stages of a dinner. We consider our research and experimentation as an appetizer, the event that involves hosting and preparing as the main course and the conclusion and presentation as the dessert. We thank all our friends for the nice time and look forward to more dinners.

Time Mascot

prints
148x210mm

Beyond the sweetness and humour, mascots are a powerful tool for businesses to increase their profit and strengthen their identity. What if we were to use mascots to promote something that doesn’t have anything to do with profit or advertising? In comes the Time Mascot. We have all have an equal amount of time at our disposal, and we all know that we cannot physically possess it. The Time Mascot promotes time which we cannot buy. Isn’t it ironic though? Through promoting something that you cannot buy using mascots, you can buy their promotion products instead. This Time Mascot makes Time purchasable. Even though you cannot buy time itself, the mascot bring it into life. Riso-printed handouts spread to visitors at the exhibition.
Tools for Expression

publication
210x297mm

Alongside the printed page, written language is represented in various forms. Public space is illed with messages of all kinds written by the individuals that inhabit it. Through these interventions of self-expression, different forms of written and oral language have been born that go unaccounted for in the history of communication. Each of these methods has its own formal and conceptual qualities, as well as its own history and background. These tools represent an untold history of graphic design that has existed and developed alongside the popular communication tools of print publishing, radio, television and the internet.
