Impulse

  • Elena Tzilini

They say you need to give time to your BA degree, but one's relationship with time can be subjective. In my case, I used the concept of time in a fictional setting that has roots in today's reality. So, in my major project, I travel back in time, before COVID-19 and I design an application that would motivate its users to be productive, grateful, and live their life to their fullest. When the pandemic arrives a year later, I come back to update the application, revealing its secret goal and setting one more: to continue supporting them during this crisis. Although this project could never happen in real life due to its fiction, it puts on the spotlight the hidden parts and mental consequences this pandemic had on humanity. You can view the whole project and its creative process below...
