Chris O'Shea

Chris O'Shea is a London based artist and designer, creating interactive work for both public institutions and private companies. He creates work that playfully challenges our perception of space and physical objects
There is a childlike quality about wanting the ability to see through walls like a superhero character with x-ray vision. This memory is something the interactive installation Out of Bounds aims to capture. Shining an x-ray torch at the wall lets you see through it, and it opens up a portal into the forbidden spaces. Reveal the secrets hidden beneath the walls!

Simon Heijdens

Born 1978 in the Netherlands. Based in Rotterdam and London, Simon Heijdens observes the traces of our daily rituals, then brings alive their narrative and history. He reveals the poetics of spaces and objects, enchanting and surprising with installations, products and films.
Simon has created a motion image work titled "Lightweeds," which projects shadows of plant life onto the wall. Sensors pick up the conditions of the weather right outside of the space, and the images of the growing seeds react to the rain, wind, and changes in temperature. These projected plants visualize the conditions of the weather outside, allowing the viewer to perceive the weather's subtle fluctuations.

Moritz Waldemeyer

The Pong Table is a dining table design that celebrates the early innovators in the field of personal computers and computer games. The table is made of corian and it has thousands of LEDs integrated in the table surface. Activated by two track pads it recreates the classic “Pong” game. When the game is not in use, none of the technology is visible just leaving the clean minimalist lines of the dining table.

Blinking Leaves : When a leaf-shaped sheet of paper that has an open eye or a closed eye drawn on each side falls, the rolling motion creates an animation of a blinking eye. You can pick up the leaf sheets fallen on the ground, put them into the cylinder, and let the fan blow them out into the air again. In this exhibition, the cylinder represents the trunk of a tree.

Roger Ibars

Born in Barcelona and graduated in Interaction Design from the Royal College of Art in 2003. Worked as researcher for MIT Medialab Europe in Dublin and for RCA Interaction design studio in London. Currently he collaborates with Sony Design Centre in Tokyo designing control devices.
The "Hard-wired devices" are a collection of vintage electronic devices -from 70s to 90s- in which two cultures of interface blend: the computer game culture and home electronics culture. The fi nal objects are unique and functional pieces that review three decades of electronics culture to point the direction of interaction design towards the fundamental values of play.
