OUGD603 / Extended Practice / I Need You To Change / Initial Research

So after previously mentioning the idea of interactive graphic design, I want to push this idea to its' limit as an extended piece! 

Here are a few pieces from memory that push the idea of the viewer affecting what they're viewing:









  • Electronic Superhighway / Fantastic Exhibition and book from which I discovered the work of Nam June Paik (1932 - 2006)
  • Nam June Paik - Internet Dream 

Paik’s Internet Dream (1994), displays a constant stream of rapidly changing scenes to hypnotic effect. It illustrates his early awareness of society’s move towards information saturation, celebrating the constant expansion associated with shifts forward in technology.

  • Lynn Hershman Leeson Lorna (1979-1982)


Over three decades Hershman Leeson has created works exploring identity, image culture, surveillance and the relationship between humans and machines. She often employs alter egos in her immersive media projects. The interactive installation Lorna (1979-1982) presents a female character that lives in her apartment without any outside contact. A domestic interior includes a television set – an important object in Lorna’s life and her only window to the world. Using the TV remote controller the viewer is invited to take the role of the protagonist to find logic in a labyrinth of scenes and unravel her story.
