Make With… Monash Design Week Exhibition

Monash Design is exhibiting three unique design interventions, each engaging technology but deployed in entirely different ways.

Slow Data in the Age of Digital Things is an exhibition of artefacts built and developed by Chuan Khoo to demonstrate how we might consider alternative modes of engagement with digital data.

XYX Lab present Consenting Cities, a body of work that explores, documents, and visualises international research concerning gendered experiences of safety in global cities. Coded symbols are enmeshed in the graphic, each one connected to a set of typologically categorised data points that reveal the high percentages of women and gender-diverse people who feel unsafe in public spaces. Utilising smartphone technology exhibition visitors can ‘decode’ the wall, and reveal the confronting data that continues to impact on women and gender diverse-people’s participation in cities. This work connects across the globe, simultaneously mirroring the Consenting Cities installation at Palazzo Mora’s ‘Time Space Existence exhibition’ in Venice.

Ian Wong and InDae Hwang present Light Colour Humanity, an immersive Augmented Reality (AR) experience that shines a spotlight on Australia’s design history through virtually exploring the objects that have defined the country’s design pedigree. All objects curated from the Ian Wong Collection and the AR component designed by InDae Hwang.
