Tea with Crows
Young Suk Lee · 2017
"Tea with Crows" is an interactive sculptural installation seeking to enable a poetic use of technology that offers stimulation and provocation. It does so by embedding aesthetic elements, experimental ideas and practical usage into ubiquitous computing. This multi-modal interactive piece connects people to each other, and constructs social conversation while engaging in innovative ambient design and technology. "Tea with Crows" explores experiential aesthetic by embedding playful kinetic motion and shape changing interfaces into everyday objects. The transformable form, function, and action of the sculpture are synchronized between the tea table and chandelier enriching the human experience. Ultimately, "Tea with Crows" aims to bring an expressive digital object with ubiquitous computing into the foreground of our everyday life by creating proactive interaction beyond the calm display.
