A Journey - Kimchi and Chips

Interactive Wooden box

Lighting Installation

“A Journey” is an interactive light installation that aims to offer people a dream-like world inside an old medicine case. This case contains sky, ground and river inside each of three drawers, producing different colours and sounds whenever you open it, so that you can make your own story out of this little world.

We have designed a series of interactive lights created from raw materials people may encounter in their everyday lives - such as a box, or paper or water. We ?nd it intriguing to explore the use of emotion and humour in design as well as playing with technology. We are always looking for themes and materials from our everyday environments, then trying to distort their original function, with the aim of creating new stories and new technologies.

We are attracted to cryptic puzzles and narrative snippets involving interactions. We have chosen a box and a little miniature city as the focus of our project. Opening the box and looking into the city will, we hope, evoke personal memories and narratives.
