project from Domus online

The project I worked on this Summer at Domus Academy in Milan has been posted on the Domus Project website.
This is the Domus Academy Project site: http://projects.domusacademy.net/

The course was tangible electronic tools and the course project brief was all around mobility and social networking. The aspect I chose to explore was Media Expression. How one expresses oneself in blogs or to others.

I think our project got slightly tangential however (which is okay) and instead of doing a deep dive on mobility concerning blogging, our project took a slight detour into phatic communications.

The concept we came up with was called Momento. It is a small device that enables one to find others based on their profile information - it will find people who match you and point them out like a compass.

If you like a person you can appoint them your "north" on the compass.

I was pleased with Momento overall - but I think I would like to explore another project around physical community and technology rather than virtual communities.

I plan to start working on a concept that expands around the display unit featured in Momento.
In fact, I think it might be a good project to propose for Octavia Green.
