Preparing for Viva Voce

Its the last push! This week, I spent the time documenting my work, and reprinting publications as part of my setup. It was also the last class we had together as an atelier, which felt bittersweet. All the best to everyone for the final stretch!

From Open Studios to Viva, I thought about how I wanted to show each prototype; and for Intimate Acoustics, I realised that it was not plausible to stick vinyl footprints on the floor (like I did for Open Studios). Hence, I decided to turn to vinyl letters instead, sticking the words "Lean in to listen", "Come closer to listen" on top of each of the boxes, so that one is guided to come closer to the set up in a more subtle way.

For the final Viva setup, I initially decided on a layered table setup, where I had two tables and one pedestal. However, after testing out the setup, it felt a little cramped, and there was an odd spacing at the end. Hence, I decided to go with a more linear setup, with the two tables spread out on the sides of the pedestal, so it formed one long row. This way, the flow of the artefacts felt more natural, and there was a better balance of space.
