An Endless Story by Caroline Eggett
“An Endless Story” displays a website with a navigation bar to execute different tasks, along with a story displayed underneath. This piece focuses on connecting human thoughts with auto-generated suggestions to create an immersive story for others to read or listen to. The concept for this idea came from a bulletin board activity hosted in the lobby of my dorm building — each person passing by could write one word to the story. In my work, I wanted to not only include a digital footprint of this, but also a robotic footprint to forecast our increasing dependence on technology.
Bulosan’s Box by Olivia Luo
Bulosan’s Box contains a TV playing ancient human migration patterns, moving across the Earth as it spins. Passing too close to the TV will cause it to lose its signal, starting the video over again.
In Another Room by Wendy Liu
In Another Room is a simple little box that’s held up to the ear and listened to, as if you’re standing right outside of spaces like a wedding ceremony, the summer fields, or a lively beach. Once the box is opened, the music stops playing, and the connection to the “other room” disappears until the box is closed again.
Houseplant by Caleb Sinchok
FriendBot by Pen Anders
Inspired by my past comic involving an android in her last moments spent with her robot friends, FriendBot is a lost scrap of a robot seeking friendship from those around it, calling out for people to hold its hand and be its friend.
