PAREIDOLIA

The Santralistanbul Energy Museum is filled with so much character. Hidden amongst the pulleys, turbines, generators and fuses are an abundance of human expression. The following images are a selection of pareidolia examples taken from the museum and around Taksim.

EYES EARS NOSE MOUTH

The following images were created by using software that selects and randomizes elements of the face. For these images, I wanted to experiment with similar shapes that we weren't accustomed to associating with the face. What resulted were cartoon-style images that liked to multiply.

odeur

ODEUR

Started as a scent — infused throughout the DNA of its designs — and focused on form, Odeur wished to grow its presence within the fashion landscape while retaining its obscurity and provenance. Working with PM Per Westholm and graphic designer Robin Karlsson for this Hyper module, we were challenged to propose an online presence and digital strategy for the obscure Swedish high-end fashion brand Odeur.

MIRROR MIRROR

As I am wont to experiment with abstraction, I used the wave formula to propagate various effects while engaging the webcam as a mirror. As far as interaction is concerned, it probably wasn't the best thing to do; it would be hard for anyone who used the mirror to detect how they were effecting it. But, it was fun. However, for one of my non-abstracted mirrors, I did manage to create an RGB mirror that "prints" CMYK. The further away one moves from the webcam, the mirror's color gamut changes from RGB to CMYK.
