B.A. thesis project of Stephan Thiel at the Interfacedesign program of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Understanding Shakespeare is an attempt to create a new visual understanding of the work by analysing most frequently used words for each character. Using Processing, a scene is represented by a block of text and scaled relatively according to its number of words. Characters are ordered by appearance from left to right throughout the play. The major character’s speeches are highlighted to illustrate their amounts of spoken words as compared to the rest of the play.  Understanding Shakespeare / Prints

“The arrangement includes six exceptional exhibits from the world of sounds and acoustics. At first sight looking trivial, each object incorporates a very unique ability.

The magical character of each object is accompanied with a little story, almost completely concealing the existence of technical components such as speakers or sensors. Only small connection ports as well as the uniform black finishing point to their unusual abilities.

In form and functionality all these exhibits pursue John Maeda’s “Simplicity”. They are enjoying to use, they are surprising and one wants to explore and investigate them.”

When a new email message arrives, water is released into one of three tubes representing your work, family and friends. By controlling the valve on each tube, you can control how much communication you receive from each group. For example, you could completely shut off work after 5pm. The tube will still fill from any new messages but none of these messages will be passed on to your email in-box. You could later, perhaps the next morning, open the valve completely and the held messages will be passed through to your in-box. /via Hardsketcher - Filippo Cuttica
