Slow design principles – Daniel Barrera

When I read over the 6 design principles I kept thinking back to the artist, Gabriel Orozco and his take on everyday objects. Orozco’s work focus on that fragile relationship with those everyday objects. one of those pieces is “Ping Pond Table”. It follows principle 2 which is “evolve” and principle 5 which is “participate”….

Slow Design Principles

After reading through the Slow Design Principles the first design project that came to mind was EarthShip Homes. The Earthships homes in New Mexico are homes that are self-sustaining in nature, making them eco-friendly options for people to own or rent. These homes use design principle 4, because the homes are created on shared blueprints….

Slow Design Principles

The Augmented Reality Sandbox, created by researchers at UC Davis W.M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences, is an interactive art installation that allows the user to change the topography of the sandbox. By moving the sand around, the user can create moutains, valleys,  and riverbeds. This work fits the slow design principles…

Slow Design Principals:

An example is the Sasa Clock by Icelandic artist Thorunn Arnadottir. The ceaseless march of time, measurable in endlessly smaller increments, is a western concept. In many parts of the world, time is not parsed into seconds or even minutes. In some places, people perceive time as speeding up when activities speed up and slowing…

Slow Design Principle

The way our surroundings interact and react with us is as times something we never really consider.  Canada-based graphic designer Thibaut Sld has designed the ‘hexi’ responsive wall, a series of 60 hexagon shaped, mounted panels, which react to the movements of the people in front of the world. This self-initiated project comes as a collision of interaction,…

Slow Design Principles

Reading through the examples of the Slow Design Principles I was surprised to see that I could recognize them straight away in famous art pieces. For example, I believe that the “Crown Fountain” created by Jaume Plensa which could be found in Millennium Park is a very good example of two design principles: Participate, engage….

Research

  These are two artworks that can be viewed as using two of the six design principles. The first one, which is called “Eye Love Superflat” by Takashi Murakami can show the third design principle which is Reflect, that causes people to feel emotion to the artwork and the perception of this as well. Takashi…

Slow Design Principals

Images and videos capture two very different settings. One is just a still-life and the other has movements and sounds that make the “image” come to life. In a sculpture aspect, they capture one pose and are very detailed three-dimensional objects that are typically made out of materials that you can carve away. Peter Jansen,…

Broken White Project: this project uses a certain kind of ceramic that reacts to being used. as someone eats and cuts their food and so on the plates design begins to change, new patterns will begin to emerge and so on. I feel that this project shows off the principles of “reflect” and “reveal”. on…

Slow Design

This may be broad, but the first thought that came to my mind while reading Slow Design was Graffiti. I understand it is far away from using any type of technology minus sharing it on sites like Facebook, but graffiti is the experience that can pass you by- it can reveal spaces itself, call attention…

Interactive Assignment

For my project, I’ll be creating an interactive canvas painting of a forest. I’ll be using neopixels and LEDs, as well as a PIR motion sensor and the sound sensor on the Circuit Playground Express. The neopixels will be activated by the motion sensor and will light up in a dripping pattern to indicate snow….
