APD week 3 Play and Materiality (Character Box)

Theme

Play and Materiality 

Method

I wanted to combine interaction and a playful concept into something that I've been doing in my studio 2 project so I created a box using materials that I had and the characters that I've had to create a object that people could interact with it. I wanted to created something that made the use of placing a character in a environment, so I started with the idea of shadows can be a character and the silhouettes to make that character can be characters by themselves and using the overlapping of those characters can create surprises and interesting interactions with the user.

Response

Although the character Box as I called it still can be more develop in a more refined way I liked how it turned out, when I showed it to different friends they had fun with it and like the idea by itself of each character and the surprise of the shadow, it showed me that this thing can be something by itself if it was more develop down the line. I can see this becoming a fun little project, I already have access to various materials and different ideas if I want to make more refined, it could be a more interactive object, making it was really fun and a bit difficult at the same time, but in all terms it is a fun experiment.
