APD Week 3 - Lily Harrison

Theme

Play and Materiality 

Method

I wanted to combine interaction and a playful concept into an installment that could be shown in a small space. I came up with various textures and actual materials to transform seemingly inanaimate objects into something that could be believed to be alive and touched, perhaps even containing a personality.

Context

Art installation with physical and digital/electronic elements.

Response

Although purely conceptional I can see this becoming a fun little project, I already have access to various materials and sound knowledge and could make the 'Soft' object with faux fur, a hand warmer, perhaps also containing a pouch where a phone could be inserted to have the ball of fur vibrate. Or remove a vibration and touch box from another type of interactive childrens toy.
