Monument

Creative director — Roman Krikheli

Designer — Dmitry Rybalkin

With sympathy and compassion to Chinese people and victims of 12.05 earthquake bureau Proekt has created this monument to the present for «New Graphic Magazine». The way it works is described below.

Monuments with displays are installed in museums, libraries and galleries. The image on each display is divided into sections. Some important news for the chinese community is contained in each section. The news is picked up randomly from the Internet by a special algorithm in real time. Each news is marked by a color depending on the news’ positive or negative sense. Good and bad news may be located side by side as the former doesn’t exist without the latter. Nonetheless it is the monument to optimism. It’s a unique monument to the events taking place right at the moment, it’s alive and it’s changing along with the world. The display is the cut of China’s information field, each moment it is of current interest as the information is being updated all the time. 

Each display section responds to the touch — if news interests a person, he/she can touch it by the hand like we touch each other in sign of compassion. The monument responds to the touch increasing by one the number of people who have touched the screen. This number also influences the news relevance algorithm — while it touches people it remains displayed as it remains in the heart of people.

«Everything» project is the attempt to imagine the combination of the ergonomic technology and design in 20-30 years. The science will continue to tend to miniaturization, as the result we’ll be able to create any functioning devices a few molecules thick. I believe the possibility to spray the objects directly onto a human body to be a great idea.

Just imagine: you take a small container of nano-spray and put some controllable molecular structure on your palm. The sprayed molecules gather together in blocks, which immediately form an object (for example, a phone). You push the buttons appearing on your palm and make a call (see the scheme). Physically there is no device – only its interface. Such technology will have an unlimited potential. The imaging of any kind of data, including video, will become possible. big_313.png

In the «Menu» mode the phone has two main interface elements:

— external circle of 10 buttons;

— internal circle showing possible options.

Active interface elements are yellow.

The watch interface is made of three circles of different diameter: — the first circle (marked pink) shows hours, — the second (marked brown) – minutes, — the third (marked blue) – seconds.
