About
A design tool aims at empowering Graphic designers to explore new dimensions of their works through the lens of light
Detail
“Experiment” has been my constant companion.

The Spin was created unexpectedly after iterations of doing, trying, failing, and its function also mirrors that of experimentation-to explore and to innovate.

Engaging with the Spin, users insert their works into the system, and through the lens of light, they can see their work in a reproduction version. Each work has its unique color, defined by B-G-B,  these colors determine the spinning speed of the sphere.

By breathing a new life into their work, they give themself an opportunity to try “unknown” thingsxplore new aesthetic territories and understand themselves as a designer.

Work in use

How does it work ?

The Spin uses TouchDesigner to analyze artworks' colors, which control a DC motor spinning a wire sphere. Based on selected RGB color values, the motor spins at a speed corresponding to the color's intensity, creating a unique result for each piece.
