SAUMA

Last week I went to SAUMA at the Courtyard gallery. It is an exhibition about contemporary design from Finland. I found four interesting pieces.

Graphic concrete
This method in which graphics can be printed on the concrete, gives the possibility to have the graphics embedded on the walls. I like the idea of the design being part of the building and not something that is added as an external element.

I also liked Title Toy, a modular electronic game for tangible LED game titles.

City Wipeout was an interface that allows users to wipe in a city picture everything but the advertisement. Although the results were not that smart the concept and the modes of interaction have a lot of potential.

Air Urban olfatoty installation is a set of three bubbles that contain the smell and some videos that reveal personal experiences of three cities. Again, good ideas with not that good final results.
