Week 45
The final week! It has been all about testing, setting up & installing our works, honorable mentions and bidding farewell to everyone.

Earlier this week, I encoded all the keepsake cards to the corresponding data for the intangible interaction element of my installation. I then tested it out with the Arduino setup. I also printed out the instructions on vinyl for the fabricated Arduino enclosure.

I produced a set of generative takeaway cards for the show.

Working alongside the exhibition and AV team to install the screen and shelf required for my arrangement, I carefully ensured everything was in place.

And, I was finally all set for the opening & Industry breakfast! The installation featured a digital experience, a tangible interaction setup consisting of an Arduino reader and a box of keepsake cards, a trackpad, a pair of headphones, my process journal & a small diary for the audience to leave their thoughts.

Receiving positive feedback and engaging in thoughtful discussions about the subject during the graduate show was an absolutely amazing experience! I will hold dear all the wonderful words that people shared in my book.

I am also thrilled that the project received an honorable mention in this year's Pudding Cup. Check out their picks for the best visual and data-driven stories of 2023.

As the term came to a close, I returned the last remaining book. It was an emotional moment, considering the library had provided the space for me to explore numerous inspiring books.

And, that’s a wrap! I am grateful to my tutors, family, friends, and the amazing individuals I've encountered, making this experience both worthwhile and beautiful.
