Project Proposal The piece that I have been working on is going to be an installa�on which allows the audience to interact with it as well as allows them to play with the artefact. As this is my fist public art and how this project has allowed me to explore product and furniture design, I wanted to combine them for this project. I started exploring different forms which could go with the public space of the metro sta�on. So working with metro sta�on as a public space to work with, I wanted to show movement with my art piece. The labour work which is going to be put in making this project depends on the material I plan to work with, and it changes the way people will interact with the ar�fact. For my second explora�on I want to create another installa�on piece with the same concept of movement and include interac�vity with the piece.
As a designer taking up art in transit as final year project made me think about different aspects of design associated with public space and explore myself as an ar�st more than a designer. With already having done a kine�c art piece for my pre-dip; I wanted to explore further with kine�c art piece and the response it gets from an audience if made interac�ve. Kine�c art is mostly about mo�on and movement with an external force. So I wanted to take this as an challenge and see if kine�c art can be made more interac�ve and involving more audience with the piece rather than just eye-gazing.

Project Brief
Design Direction
Three aspects of public art
Activeness The site should be active for an public art peice to generate the amount of viewers to look at it
Interaction The art piece to speak for itself for people to come and interact with the art-piece because that is what and artefact should do.
Implementation If a space speaks to you in a certain matter, implementing it in such a way that affects a large group of people is the key.
