INSIDE THE BOX INSTALLATION Professor Young Yoo, 2013, 10 in x 6 in x 9 in, Mixed media
In a darkened room, visitors can reach into a small wooden box, placed near a wall. A camera inside projects a large photograph of each individual’s fingers onto the opposite wall. Connected to the camera, a computer processes the incoming data of the images.
STREET LIGHT PAINTING INSTALLATION Professor Young Yoo, 2013, 10 in x 6 in x 9 in, Mixed media
Light is dependent on the existence of others in order to be understandable. Through these experiments, I wanted to take technology to the streets and combine digital arts with movement.
DRAWING WITH THE MOON EXPERIMENT Professor Young Yoo, 2013, 10 in x 6 in x 9 in, Mixed media
The camera was placed on a pivot point and put on long exposure to create line drawings with the light emitting from the moon.
STREET LIGHT SCRIBBLES EXPERIMENT Professor Young Yoo, 2013, 10 in x 6 in x 9 in, Mixed media
The camera was shaken in random movements and put on long exposure to create drawings with the light emitting from the streetlights.
LIGHT GRAFFITI INSTALLATION Professor Young Yoo, 2013, 10 in x 6 in x 9 in, Mixed media As part of my experimentation with light waves and physical movement, I made a number of tests, swinging a single LED light in random movements, which were recorded using long-exposure photography. Through these experiments, I wanted to show the viewer the things I cannot foresee. We tend to know that there is something that we do not know, and our expectations are a result of what we already know, so we cannot expect things that we cannot expect. The experiments seem rather predictable, but the outcome might not exactly be what we expected, and take new direction.
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIMENT Professor Stephan Saagmeister, 2012, 10 in x 6 in, Digital print
Animals were photoshopped into a photo of an empty box to recreate the feeling of space. I was inspired by habitat fragmentation and their relationship to space.
SWYP CONTENT SHARING APP Professor Young Yoo, 2013, 10 in x 6 in x 9 in, Mixed media
Collaborating with start-up companies from MIT Media Lab, I created interface designs for Swyp App. Swyp is used for sharing contents such as music, photos, and documents by simply swyping across one gadget to another gadget.
RECUMBENT TRIKE PROTOTYPE TEAM
Professor Michael Lye, 2012 4 ft x 4 ft x 4 ft, PVC, Carbon fiber
Every year, NASA's Great Moonbuggy Race takes place in Huntsville, Alabama at Marshall Space Flight Center. The course is about 3/4 mile long and is made up of simulated lunar terrain. The vehicle must be human powered, carry one male and one female rider, and collapse into a 4' x 4' x 4' cube. During a six-week moonbuggy concept development class, my group of five Industrial Design students developed a prototype for a lightweight vehicle that requires very few moving parts and could be fabricated from alternative materials to the usual steel buggies that compete at the race each year. Our group won first place among our class.

HAND SANITIZER DISPENSER
= Purell Location Security
Wide prevalence of Purell dispensers throughout the hospital has made washing hands with the required frequency more quicker and convenient in hospitals. But it’s not enough. The problem remains that healthcare workers do not use Purell dispensers sufficiently for them to be fully effective. In addition, hospitals cannot monitor hand-washing practices with enough accuracy to give good assessment of how often healthcare workers really wash their hands.

DONATION DISPENSER A hand sanitization device that allows users to donate money to specific causes. The dispenser is enhanced with a system to record, catalogue, and display information about hand sanitization as well as a screen to display facts to users in the hallway. The Donation Dispenser system is composed of three components: - Hand sanitizer dispenser - Screen for displaying facts about hand sanitation - Recording and tracking application
INFECTION CONTROL REPORT FINDINGS With the automated compliance reporting system, random manual observations become unnecessary. Infection control report findings provide location-specific, color-coded reports to correlate hand sanitizer usage with infection outbreak areas.
The donation system is annonymous and places no burden on the individual user to provide money. Each time you dispense hand sanitizer, the dispenser changes from displaying infographics to displaying that the hospital has donated 5 cents to a particular cause in order to bring HAI’s to forefront of thought. After you walk away, the dispenser displays a new infographic screen which provides up-to-date information and compliance rates.
The screen displays up-to-date, relevant infographics on hand-acquired infections (HAI) to bring HAIs to the forefront of thought.
The screen displays up-to-date, relevant infographics on Methicillin-resistant Staphlococcus aureus(MRSA) to bring MRSA to the forefront of thought.
The screen displays up-to-date, relevant infographics on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans.
The screen displays up-to-date, relevant infographics on donations made by the hospital.
SCRUB SINK SCRUBBING STATION FOR NICU Professor Michael Lye, 2012 6 in x 3 in x 8 in, Chipboard
Why NICU scrub stations? • Not utilized to the fullest extent by patients • Lack ergonomics, aesthetics, and relay of information on proper scrubbing techniques Patients • Use sinks in the room as opposed to in the hallway • Tend to either rush through the scrubbing procedure or not scrub in at all because they get distracted by the baby while in the room • Not educated on the purpose of Avagard, which cuts scrubbing time by 3 minutes. • Did not scrub for the full alloted time

ORIGIN INSTALLATION
TEAM
Multidisciplinary team of architecture students, graphic design students, sculpture students, and industrial design students from Artphil Institute in Seoul, Korea.
IDEA CONCEPT
Supervisor Young Yoo, 2013 15 ft x 20 ft x 30 ft, MDF, Steel
What defines origin? The human nature to route the origin is relatively simple compared to the complexity of the origin. The common denominator within constant change leads us to believe that is the origin, rendering the rest irrelevant and useless. However, these processes are what ultimately define origin. For instance, the trajectory of the water droplets from a sprinkler cannot be calculated but can be traced back by reversing the trajectory to its point of origin, which does not necessarily mean that that point is the origin of the droplets.
IDEA DERIVATION
TRICHROMATIC + 5 CARDINAL COLORS
Like water droplets from a sprinkler coming together to form a new origin, we saw ourselves as people from different backgrounds forming something new. Inspired by the Voronoi diagram, we combined our personal information such as home address and horoscopes to create various points to create our pattern. The installation that we made is in essence the origin of recurring events such as de-installation.
