This is a thesis project from Julia Y. Tsao. According to the author:
The project explores our relationship with devices and technology by examining the multi-dimensionality of communication and the complexity of social behavior and interaction. In its essence, the project functions as a piece of design fiction, considering the fluctuating nature of our present engagement with media technology and providing futurist imaginings of other ways of being.
Personally I love the idea of the integration of the technology in the space. All in one. There is no device, the interaction with technology and it response is done like in real life, in the space where human lives. Julia Tsao is also the person who is behind the visuals for Nosaj Thing we posted weeks ago.

The book Data Flow the first has been a great inspiration, now there's a follow up, releasing this month by Gestalten. "Data Flow 2 expands the definition of contemporary information graphics. The book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts. It investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes, data, and information. Concrete examples of research and art projects as well as commercial work illuminate how techniques such as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization function." to see more about the book to see an interview with graphic designer and art director Christoph Niemann - Visual Reduction featured in the book.
Based on a children's book of the same name by Judy Barrett and Ron Barrett. Many times while watching this movie I wished I had been on the art directing team. They had to have had a blast while making it. Hamburgers and sprinkled donuts falling from the sky? Jell-O palaces? So much fun. The film was directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
