Interactive experiences at the human scale: Making CenterStage with Andrew Bell and Lutz Vogel

Samsung CenterStage is an interactive studio that displays 64 appliance on a screen that is scaled according to the human size. It was created by Andrew Bell and Lutz Vogel and created in March 2015. What I admire about this work is that it allows buyers to virtually interact and experience what the appliance would be like as if it is right in front of you. This project is admiring because people can see the different kinds of appliances at once and they can also virtually try them out through a screen.The radial interface also made it to the point where it is easy to use and navigate. The algorithm of this project is user interaction and experience. The creators artistic sensibilities are showed in how they describe the fluorescent smell of laundry by displaying flower petals swirling around the laundry machine and draw the effects of each appliances in a symbolic way as if the users can experience what the appliances can do.

Janet Lee- Looking Outwards-01

As I was living in Korea, I came across this artist called Nam June Paik. His artwork and his philosophy “touch my art like it’s your toy” caught my attention. He is well known for his video/media art. Out of his whole projects, I liked “Tv Garden” which was produced by about thirty televisions lying by tropical leaves. It was interesting to me that he combined television and nature without a definite meaning to it. I do feel like this project would have been more effective if the tv screens included a lot more scenes of nature. Though, I also feel like he intentionally excluded a lot of nature scenes to make people question about his work. Paik once wrote that he wanted “to shape the tv screen as precisely as Leonardo and as freely as Picasso”. His purpose of his work was to not conform his work in a traditional way but to freely express himself.
