Mill-Glass is a project built around a particular goblet used for drinking games in the 16th century, exhibited at the V&A Museum. It consists of a short, but intense journey for the user, who will experience the effects given by the original use of this object and will see his own reaction at it.
The whole interaction happens in a…
Very interesting project for the coming Crossrail Station in Canary Wharf by Israeli artist Michal Rovner. This mesmerizing video gives the idea of how many and clustered we are in these metropolitan spaces and, most of all, it enhances the enormity of the Crossrail project.…
I made work the right brain, as Nicholas would say, and I tidy up a bit the patch, the best thing is to use the send-receive objects, with those you can avoid many lines.
I found out also that a good way to clean the patch is to rewrite it on a paper, which gives you the possibility to reflect…

Ledoliel is a strange dating toy for iOS, involving procedural creatures and their bizarre customs, where you must try and figure out what topics they might want to discuss, gift they might want to receive and places they may like to be touched – based on their cryptic attributes.
This is a project which perfectly describes our current cultural situation,…
“Designers understand what people really need. Marketing understands what people actually buy.”
Don Norman, The Design of Everyday Things
I like this quote, especially having been working for over 2 years in marketing department. I work with my colleagues side by side on the same product, but it’s always present that barrier of expertise and different purposes.…
In this patch on the left through the microphone we can register a prolonged loud sound which will identify the blowing. A blow longer than 2 seconds will trigger the entire process, showing before the windmill turning, then a random number from 4 to 9 (they will be the shots to drink) is selected by the “urn” function. Each of…
Reflecting on the project again:
– This goblet was used for a popular drinking game, to incentivise alcohol consuming.
– Drinking games are made to have fun and get wasted, nothing to be serious about.
– Therefore the interaction might be something funny for the user.
– Why not to give to the user a drunk feeling, without let him…
After a revision and a few discussions, we agreed that the scope of the interaction should be to make the user feel drunk, obviously without letting him drink.
An idea suggested by my course mate Mohamad was to give indication to the user and let him spin around and do some crazy stuff in order to make him feel dizzy…
Today Alex, my project mate, showed me a very interesting interactive installation realised by an Ukranian agency with the purpose to promote a bottle of Vodka. The most interesting aspect is that to active the process users have to blow on it. This feature might be perfect for our project since it would reconnect to the original sense of the…
