Benjamin Muzzin – Full Turn

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Benjamin Muzzin – Full Turn

by Benjamin Muzzin

With this project I wanted to explore the notion of the third dimension, with the desire to try to get out of the usual frame of a flat screen. For this, my work mainly consisted in exploring and experimenting a different device for displaying images, trying to give animations volume in space. The resulting machine works with the rotation of two screens placed back to back, creating a three-dimensional animated sequence that can be seen at 360 degrees. Due to the persistence of vision, the shapes that appear on the screen turn into kinetic light sculptures. Benjamin Muzzin
Andreas Abbaszadeh – KIN

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Andreas Abbaszadeh – KIN

by Andreas Abbaszadeh

Streaming made music infinite and weightless: access to everything, ownership of nothing. This dynamic frayed the bond between artists and the people who listen to them. KIN rematerializes listening. It's a portable player that holds only a handful of tracks, like a mixtape. Its magnetic connectors let two devices touch to exchange their music, hand to hand: sharing becomes a gesture between two people again. Built around scarcity and ritual; custom electronics, a translucent body, physical controls, a screen that reflects light rather than emitting it, KIN slows the circulation of music to give back its value and its human weight.
Noa Jetzer – Alula

BA GRAPHIC DESIGN

Noa Jetzer – Alula

by Noa Jetzer

Born from an interest in animation, digital media and accessibility, Alula is a project developed in collaboration with occupational therapist Romain Savioz. It explores the following question: what might a digital environment designed to foster autonomy in emotional self-regulation among young people look like? Conceived as a resource space alongside therapy, the project envisions its visual universe through a stop-motion animation, pen-and-ink illustrations and interactive prototypes. Together, they outline an evolving digital garden where each action contributes to shaping a unique landscape. By combining analogue techniques with interactive design, Alula develops a sensitive, narrative and accessible approach to digital graphic design.
When Objects Dream

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

When Objects Dream

with Alain Bellet, Cyril Diagne, Vincent Jacquier, Florian Pittet (Sigmasix), Pauline Saglio, Eric Morzier (Sigmasix)

Do objects sometimes dream about themselves? What if we could enter their dreams? Virtual reality? Connected objects? On the occasion of the Milan International Furniture Fair 2016, the ECAL students of the Bachelor Media and Interaction Design present a collection of interactive experiments.
Steve Bouillant – Re:soil

Steve Bouillant – Re:soil

by Steve Bouillant

The smartphone has turned a trip to the mountains into an exercise in documentation. We take photos, tag our location, and post them: the natural world becomes content before it becomes a moment of reconnection. Re:soil offers a compact outdoor device whose sensors continuously measure humidity, light, and the transitions between environments. Its probe, planted in the ground, measures the earth's heat and compares it to that of the user's hand. Its microphone captures the soundscape of the location. Re:soil conveys these connections through vibration and light, without a screen, without performance, and without a phone. Upon the user's return, a linked app generates an ephemeral journal blending sensory interpretations, the geology of the site, and likely flora and fauna.
