Now we have actually decided which idea we will proceed with. After the presentation last friday we were quite confident that this idea will work and that we will be able to present it in a good way. We chose the idea "The Dorian Gray mirror". But we will not be able to show a mirror image where the person looks "aged" in the sense that he or she has wrinkles and gray hair. Instead, we will show a mirror image of the person who stands in front of the "mirror" as an old photograph. The image will be more yellow, have less contrast, be more bright and have some blurry texture to it.
We are going to use a camera, a projector, a computer and different filters. Probably something else too, but now we have just started to experiment with these things. Hopefully we will find a way to hide the camera and projector so it really will look like a "real" mirror. We have contacted some professors on KTH that we thought could help us with this project. We have got some answers but the most help we have got so far is from the people at AMT that we borrow the material from.
We still have some problems but hopefully we'll be able to solve them in time for the exhibition.

KTH School of Architecture - Communicative Spaces 07 - Examinator: Peter Ullstand - Teacher: Antonio Scarponi - Teaching assistant: Filip Biel
Media Design - Course Program
Ageing Modernity. Societies of all the developed countries are ageing. A new existential condition with no precedents in world history is reached.
The course reflect on this social change. The ageing of society is a critical mass that involves the whole sphere of everyday life (the senses perception, the physical mobility, psychology, community organization).
Design Process. Students are invited to join in design teams and reflect on this new condition of normality. The project will start from the analysis of an object that reflect the condition of ageing. The research will then be focused on one aspect that will lead on a media design project that will reflect on the condition of ageing of modern societies.
Exhibition. The course will end with an exhibition where all the prototypes and the installations produced during the course will be presented.
This blog is about the design process that each group is following toward the realization of the final project.
