Metaworx - young swiss interactive

Windowmat


This project aims to guide people in learing more about cultural diversity, integration and ecological concerns. It wants to be like a learning tool on the street in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood in Basel, it aims to create an experience that teaches people about these big issues while being enjoyable and intriguing.

The aims of the project were achieved by using a vending machine placed on the street. It relys on people being intrigued, and the "vending machine" plays on people's consumerism but then aims to entice them into learning rather than consumerism. It aims to be easy to access by anyone and for anyone to be able to learn from an experience with it. And aims to get anyone on the street intrigued.

This project uses vending machine technology and multimedia delivery of information. I like this project because it inspires me to think about having a whole system of interaction to design. In our animations we cannot choose the machine people view the work on, but this project created the machine and the content.

It is useful to think about trying to design a learning experience that will intrigue people and get them to interact more with the work. I think if I saw this "vending machine" on the street I would definately be intrigued, and when I found out that it was a learning tool, I would be very intrigued by the information it presents.

In my project i would like to intrigue my audience and go on to present information in a very accessable way.
