Team Members

Tanya Singh,  Slavi Kaloferov,  Yanxu Chen,  Dexian Wang(Devin)



More research in Postman Park

1.In order to find the answer. We went back to postman park for a more in-depth experience.
2.When we communicate in this park, we feel the social exclusion and connection with the people here.




Analysis 

1.We aggregate our feelings. Summarized some keywords to find our direction. Sense of touch, social exclusion,Exchange.
2.We want to make encounters between people more experiential.




Concept Explian

1. Make a wearable device.
2. Strengthen people's perception of meeting and parting.



Production Process

1. Make a rough shape according to the sketch
2. Use a rubber band to keep the link in a compressed state at ordinary times.
3. Try it on to see how it looks.



Blindfold & Connection Part 

1 Made an eye patch and sleeves out of black silk stockings
2. The connecting part and separating part are the same structure but use fabric and Velcro
3. Try to see how it works




Week Two Pressentation & Feedback

1. The connection effect of the cloth part is great and easy to understand. However the paper version is bulky.
2 We can try to apply this idea to scenes full of physical contact but mutual silence. Such as the London Tube.

Self-reflection

1. In cooperation, I am restrained due to shyness and nervousness.
2.Some steps can only be completed by people with unique skills, and other people don't know what to do.
