PROJECT RESEARCH
Micro-Utopia The Imaginary Potential of Home by Paula Strunden
This is absolutely a kick ass idea. Micro-Utopia is a location based virtual reality experience. How to blend the future of technology with the idea of home or another specific location. Makes the idea of the physical objects a little less tangible and more abstract. I wonder if this concept would pull people away from consumerism.
Martens + Visser Dutch Design Studio which is the home of the Holon Installation. If you could get your hands on one of these I would recommend it. Its a stunningly beautiful experience — also, follow them on Instagram, they’re a great resource for beautiful installs.
NOTE WORTHY DISTRACTIONS
This Car Painting Experience by Volkswagen is mesmerizing
NORTHERNLIGHT — Agency that develops, brands, experiences and pushed technology. This seems simliar to the WNDR flooring that is pressure / motion reactive.
I would also kill to go to Heimtextil, which is a textile + trends trade show in Frankfort, Germany. This is the source that I found Micro-Utopia through and think that their focus on the future of space design would be critical to get involved with.
This ashtray by Glassy which I absolutely want — thank you Andrea
CONTINUE RESEARCH SET FOR JULY 16th —
Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch + Ava Duvernay (Shane McSauby)
