Lost Interactions

This project "The Museum of Lost Interactions" is really interesting. 9 young interaction designers are discoverying and researching the classical interaction designs in the history. I am so shocked by these pieces since they conceived so modern ideas and were carried out decades ago. There are so many similiar projects going on nowadays. Somehow, it reminds me of Archigram movement...
My favorite piece is "The Chordmaster", perhaps because not only it involes my favotie rock music but also of its old-fasion looking.

For my thesis..

shit 又到了這個緊要關頭，現在才把thesis blog匆忙架一架(還是闊別兩年的blogger啊！年久失修..)，總之趕快起個頭先，萬事起頭難，然後把之前看過的、想過的 ideas/projects/sketches都記下來，否則依照我這brain age 31歲的記性..大概又是哈哈笑過就let it be了，太恐怖!嗯，好了屁話放完也該寫些英文正文了不然老外看不懂，賀。

Here it comes! My thesis blog.. Gosh, the following two months will be tough since I am still developing and struggling with the final concrete idea. I wanna do a project involving in human's drawing behavior. The drawing action might be a kind of interface, or a mechanism to control another connected device. My focus is expected to focus on only the drawing event itself, instead of the content.

The picture above is the best ideal example for my concept. "Watt?", designed by Paul Cocksedge from RCA, consists of a light bulb and a piece of paper which are hooked up to each other. Its switch is based on the natural conductive properties of the graphite found in pencils. Connecting two points with a pencil line completes the circuit and the light is switched on. When the line is rubbed out gradually the light is getting dimmmer and dimmer and finally switched off.
