Luminous accidents

Luminous Forest installation process
This installation blends analog (an overhead projector and shadows created on it) and digital (the capture of the image from the projector and projecting it in the opposing wall).

Shadow Genie process
In collaboration with Annelise, we created an installation made with found objects. We wanted to explore how the layering of objects in a space can create both depth in the arrangement of the objects, and a surprising image as the shadow of all these objects combined.

Play can help us think in a different way, and as designers, come to better creative solutions. Maziar Raein and I gave a workshop on Play at the Norwegian…
Neuromancer: book cover re-design
Neuromancer book cover re-design, as part of a look back on the projects I’ve done this year so far, during and after the MA. On my trip to London last year, I picked up a copy of Some thoughts on the Common Toad, by George Orwell. The cover was beautiful and I decided to bring…

They have also featured interviews with some teachers, and head of departments, in…
