Unique Properties
The advancement of technology has led to information overload for people. As a result, opportunities for introspection and self-reflection have been greatly reduced, leading to increased mental stress.
M is a tangible, growable memory sculpture. Using M can awaken the habit of thinking and meditating, providing individuals with a private spiritual anchor in a highly virtualized and fragmented life. The outer shell structure of M will grow according to the user's meditation frequency.
Production Technology
Self-evolved, programable Material/ Magnetic levitation
Inspiration
In the future, human living spaces will become increasingly smaller, while an abundance of information will occupy the majority of people's minds. I often contemplate, in a highly virtualized world, what kind of design would encourage human interaction? What could provide solace for the human spirit? How can intangible things like memories and thoughts, which are crucial to mental health, be materialized? With these thoughts in mind, I designed M.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2020 in San Francisco and finished in March 2024 in Shanghai
