Domus Academy 08 | Master Thesis

So this week was the official kick-off of the Final Thesis at Domus Academy, MA I-Design.  The topic which I’ve decided to investigate and work on is the topic of “LIGHT EMITTING DESIGNS” aka LEDs.

Essentially we are required to design an interactive light piece.  This blog will serve as a medium for me to archive and share my research and works-in-progress as I develop my Master Thesis.

Of course, comments are welcome.  Cheeeeeeers!

Change.Clothes for D&G

Domus Academy 2008 – Retail Therapy

Project Leader: Massimo Banzi

Collaborators: Su Hyun Lee, Ekene Ijeoma, Jonning Chng

Abstract

Change.Clothes is an installation for D&G’s stores where people can change the clothes of 3 visualised D&G models using clothing from the store.  By physically moving clothing items, it triggers the models to take off and put on the particular piece of clothing.  Change Clothes could be used for promoting D&G’s collections, and creates a point for consumers to interact with the installation, with other consumers, and also with D&G.  The images of models are displayed by projecting interactive video on semi-transparent surfaces.  The videos will be seen from both inside and outside the store; hence it could also be a form of window display.
