Looking Outwards 11

For this week’s blog post, I decided to write about Tina Frank, a graphic designer who focuses mainly on interaction and music within her work. Tina Frank is an Austrian designer, artist and professor at the University of Art and Design. As a designer, she collaborates with musicians to incorporate sound into her work. Within the years, her work has shifted from data visualizations for scientific projects. One work that I will be discussing today is a project called “What if.” This project is an interactive light installation in a building that raises the question of what our world would be like if XYZ was in action. For example, what if the world was inhabited by mosses and ferns? What if feminists ruled the world? The thing I admire the most about this project is how the one lighting installation changed completely the mood of a space. In the video included below, the lighting installation as well as the sound and the music gives the whole project a very surrealistic feeling.
