Organic Oranges?
The main idea behind my project is the idea of combining natural elements with man made ones. My project takes an ordinary organic object (an orange) and breaks down all the individual properties that together make it up. I have then recreated each of these properties using only artificial materials to create orange ‘segments’. The experience my object intends to give the user is the unexpectedness of finding man made creations within an organic form. The users sense of touch and sight are then engaged by the segments on this inside as they feel and look at each one to try and decide what property of the orange it could hold. Although there is technically a ‘correct’ answer to this it is more important that the user interoperates for themselves what each piece could mean to give them their own individual experience.
Instruction
My interactive object is focussed on touch and sight so users are welcome to feel and examine all aspects of my object.
To begin the experience users need to take the lid off the orange. Users are then free to pick up any of the seven inner segments. When the users is satisfied with their experience of the segments simply need to place them back into the orange skin half and return the other half as a lid (segments go in no particular order).
