Projects
  • Violent Video Games
    Violent Video GamesVideo games violence: Questioning the psychological effects violent video games are having on our thoughts. Do violent video games influence players in a positive or negative way? To portray the interactiveness of video games, the outcome of my dissertation consist of a manual TV (user will scroll the dials to 'load' the screen), Time Crisis game, game manual (text for dissertation) and an instruction manual. To make it more realistic, I have added LED lights inside the box, so when the TV is plugged in, the TV starts.
  • Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

  • Hand Book
    Hand BookWe use our hands so much we forget how important and significant they really are, in fact we hardly ever think about it. This little book highlights and captures the way we use our little (or big) hands, the unsung hero of the body.
  • Nothink
    NothinkA book and two films about ‘nothing’. The book is about my research into ‘nothing’ and contains conversations and notes I’ve had about ‘nothing’ with peers and tutors. The book is bound by binding rings and it does not have a start or an end. The two films explores the concept of ‘nothing’. The first film ‘Hole Punching’ is a 30 minute film of myself hole punching the book and the second film ‘Hole   Re-inforcers’ is a 50 minute film of myself sticking hole  re-inforcers onto my book. Both serves a purpose of doing ‘nothing’ (interesting).
