Roma/Internet Map Book

The setup for this project was to interpret two historical events, a global and a personal one. The re-imagination of a teenager's blurred memory of Rome and the advent of the Internet and its digital era resulted in a double-sided map reproduction of a traditional map of Rome, contrasted against a digital version on the other side. A clash between the traditional and the digital, this project speaks about fragmentation between the reality of our experiences and the virtual reality that we live by in today's era. Typographical experimentation and medium interplay were used to enhance the double-map's philosophy.
Iugo Bracelet
images
description
A concept gadget based on the idea of fusing the human senses together into a portable and wearable form.Wood veneer was chosen as an alternative material for the wrist band as a natural contrast to the mass-produced electronics today. Several interfaces were designed to visualize sound and allow the sense of touch to control them with ease. A storyboard for a television advertisement was also created for the bracelet. In the ad, friends are shown reuniting in the city after having not seen each other for a long time. Since the idea of connecting was an important part of the project, the name “IUGO” (meaning to connect in Latin) was chosen as the name for the bracelet. A group project with Vince Lo, Eunji Choi, and Cynthia Chang.
