Candyfall: a public art installation in Nottingham
Reader Find
Candyfall is a public art installation in Nottingham. I was inspired by liquorice allsorts sweets, their simple shapes and bold colours. The five giant ‘sweets’ made of fiberglass injected the park with some needed colour and use. It is also used as urban furniture as they were designed to be sat on and enjoyed. It is quite surreal to have bright coloured giant sweets in a park, and it will hopefully make people who see it smile.

Projection Mapping: an interactive viewing experience
Reader Find
I came across this viral ad for PS3 on a recent talk I attended for Studio Output. The guy’s room changes into the movie he is watching, giving him an immersible experience. This video was shot in one take, with no effects and no post production. It is a fun and interactive way to watch [...]
