Ora-Ïto Mutation Exhibition

Later last year world-famous enfant terrible of design Ora-Ïto presented Evo-Mobil for Citroen. And this month in Milan he revealed a second concept of a mobility - "UFO" - a juxtaposed piece of contemporary art and futuristic mobile vehicle.

On the edge of the hy­poth­e­­sis and con­tem­po­rary art, Ora-Ïto pre­sents hy­brid ob­­jects as­­so­­ci­at­ed to the re­search and in­­no­­va­­tion de­­part­­ment of the dy­­nas­tic Cit­roën. Bap­­tized «Evo­­mo­­bil» and “U­­FO” th­ese two monu­­men­­tal sculp­­tures are the cross­ing of Cit­roën’s Icons and a re­flec­­tion from the past to the fu­­ture. Based on the pro­cess of the evo­lu­­tion, the vi­­son of Ora-Ito com­bine his­­toric and so­­ci­o­log­i­­cal tes­ti­­mony by put­t­ing aside estab­lished codes. The icon­o­­clas­tic artist was not dream­ing about another con­­cept car but a ge­net­ic tran­s­­for­­ma­­tion to spread an uni­ver­sal mes­sage to the car in­­­dus­try through his ar­tis­tic vi­­sion and new di­rec­­tions nev­er in­­vesti­­gat­ed be­­fore

Envisioning app concept

The iPad App "Envisioning" is part of Filip's Chudzinski diploma thesis about the Human-Computer-Interaction in Science-Fiction movies.

Interaction designers can be inspired by movies, a source they already love, and can learn from the interfaces in films and television. After an initial phase of just unreflected citation of existing technology or simple ex-trapolation without conceptual changes, technology started to inspire filmmakers. They invented interesting variations or pointed out the consequences of failures (or total success) of technologies, and thereby provided inspiration for researchers all the same. The app provides an easy-to-use access to various movie clips, connected with in-depth information about facts and fiction. Swipe. Tap. Get comfy. Get inspired.
