    PaperTouch Wonder

    Ye Qian (CN), Joshua Tan Jianhao (SG), Hannah Ang (SG), Clement Zheng (SG)

    PaperTouch Wonder explores the intersection between the physical paper and digital touchscreen devices through three interactive dioramas. Paper and touchscreens meet and merge in unfamiliar ways in each installation, distorting our perspective of common elements like touch interactions and digital screens for new hybrid interfaces.

    This techno-biophilic oracle houses an anthology of speculative fabulations exploring the perspective of more-than-human entities in the face of the end of the world. These narratives are presented in the form of visual and sonic simulations of Darklings, creatures of the future whose experiences of climate collapse act as the prophetic dreams of today.

  • Flow

    Flow

    Bo Han (CN), Adam Choo (SG), Jared Lim (SG), Clement Zheng (SG)

    Flow questions the inner workings of everyday devices, such as the camera, which it uses as an example. Four circuits each demonstrate a different way of manipulating electron flow to facilitate different transformations between interaction and image rendering.

It embodies interactions across digital infrastructure in a single space. Inspired by Yona Friedman’s post-war megastructures and “proteinic architecture,” it mirrors the internet’s distributed nature with scattered digital screens and mirrors. Slow evolution…
