Conventional interaction design focuses on the high-level and productive interaction between man and machine. This project opens up idle time of electronic objects as an opportunity for meaningful experiences. The methodology is inspired by current trends in "emotional design," "techno-biology" and "anthropomorphism" which result in seeing electronic objects as pets and friends. Instead of presenting entirely new product concepts, RESTLESS FREETIME strives to expose and shift the owner-servant relationship we have with our objects. As a result, the objects in this project, during their "free time," exhibit different behaviors that are not productive but rather full of character. The biggest potential to this concept is that in the future, people are able to appreciate all objects in the world just the way they are... including those that are electronic and man-made.

Time is visible in all places. Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession...Time is an infinite ruler. Time is absolute." (p 25~26) Scene #2 "At twenty minutes to ten tomorrow morning, the woman will put on her scarf and her gloves and her coat and walk down the Schifflaube, past the Nydegg Bridge and on to the tea shop on Postgasse. Across town, at fifteen minutes before ten, her friend will leave her own house on Zeughausgasse and make her way to the same place. At ten o'clock they will meet. They will meet at ten o'clock."

My input device was attached to a music box which created music on itself. The music box contains a 7-inch monitor that contains a filmstrip of six video clips that scroll up and down as the user turns the knob. Once the user lets go of the knob, the filmstrip which contained a 1 second preview of the videos stops and the videos are then replaced with the full-length, 20~30 second video clips.

What makes the viewer want to interact with the piece? How does the viewer know what to do when there are no instructions? These were some questions we wanted to answer through this project. The experiments are posted chronologically. The Trap - Phase #1 - "The Test: Mirror, mirror on the Wall..." <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9676/96775/trap1.jpg" border="0" width="450" height="190" width_o="450" height_o="190" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9676/96775/trap1_o.jpg" align="left" /> Features: Two cameras watching people, a mirror to attract attention The outcome: People are surprised/startled. Problems: The installation itself is not noticable People don't know that they have to walk up close.

People laughed. People took pictures. People took turns getting different responses. People re-returned over and over again. People were interested in finding out how the machine was working. Observations: The installation was very noticable. People knew that the comments were randomized pre-recordings. People just simply had fun and enjoyed the installation.

The outcome: People are surprised/startled. People laughed. People took pictures. People took turns getting different responses. People re-returned over and over again. People were interested in finding out how the machine was working. Observations: The installation attracted attention the most. People were more interested in how the machine worked rather than just playing with the responses and laughing. Project done in collaboration with Yoo Kyoung Noh and Sharon Levy
