Year: 2013
Format: 3d printed objects, installation
Materials: 3d printed PLA, voice, stories, data, algorithm

Short Description

The Love Project explored emotional sustainability by infusing everyday objects with affective memories. Participants are invited to record a love story by voice, while an interface translates their physiological responses into data. Using generative design techniques, the interface translates the recorded data into 3D printed objects. The project suggests a future in which unique products carry personal histories in order to encourage longer life cycles of such artifacts, thus inherently combining tacit emotional memory with sustainable design.
