My Work
SPARK
During winter in London, the city gets dark at 4pm. This causes winter blues or seasonal sadness for many people, linked to a lack of sunlight.
SPARK is a proposed installation in London during these dark months designed to hide a fun interactive light display in empty storefront windows for city-dwellers. The goal? Bring a spark of joy into the daily commute.
Full responsibilities for this project included concept, basic prototyping, experience design, participant testing, coding, setup, presentation, filming, and video-editing.
SPARK
SPARK uses hand tracking technology and a rear-projection screen to allow the viewer to control the installation, giving them a sense of empowerment and upliftment.

The interaction is designed to make participants feel surprised and joyful through the journey of interaction
SPARK is aimed at commuters and uni students travelling home. These are the people most likely to be affected by the winter blues, and usually those that are the most stressed. This is purposefully broad because public art never has a controlled audience.
The intallation would be active between 4-8 PM on weekdays, the cross-section between when it gets dark in London in the winter and when commuters and students are travelling home. Limiting the time for the installation to run also minimises energy usage as well as light pollution, since some of the installation locations may be near residential areas.
