Datamine

Project by Shelley Woo, Faris Haddad, Marta Kazimierczak & Agyenim Boateng.

Our Studio project about the Future of Travel goes into the field of intelligent gelatinized aid for making better decisions to travel.

In the future, human mobility will increase and databases will grow exponentially due to human engagement within social networks to an exorbitant amount. Processing data information will become progressively a human challenge and these vast amount of data hampers our decision-making. This is why we offer Datamine, the candy that helps to filter big data and to make better individual travel choices without hesitation and confusion.

Scientific research has proven that the neurotransmitter called dopamine is released by the nerve cells of the middle brain. It is projected on the frontal cortex and influences our interaction with big data during decision making. Based on this idea, Datamine will be produced by highly specialized scientists in our safe Datamine factory.

We detect your personal preference patterns based on your online behavior, we follow the traces you leave on the Internet and the GPS data of your mobile device, thus we can decide your unique online code–your digital DNA. This database gets translated into a personalized chemical substance: Datamine. Enriched with Dopamin–a neurotransmitter that hits the decision-making area of the brain– we customize a personal decision-making-jellypop.

Whenever you struggle with your virtual or analog travel when it comes to finding the right destination, picking the proper food, finding your best route, etc. , Datamine will help you to do it confidently your way and so make your life easier.

Imke



Project by Agyenim Boateng.

Imke is a portable bee hive combined with a flower box for your living space. The bee-magnets (blue, violet, yellow and white coloured flowers) attract bees to enter the bee hive hole. The bees will enter the hive when the internal hive components are waxed with sweet smelling bee wax to build combs and a colony within the removable comb slot and pollen box.

Seize Imke to ease the ailment or uneasiness of co-habiting with beneficial insects like bees, making yourself ready to squeeze some honey out of the bee combs for your bread and tea. With Imke on your garden fence or balcony balustrade, you have in handy the most effective remedy for relieving co-habitatis.

Use Imke as long as you intend. Just keep it clean. Smear the hive with some melted beeswax, so that it smells nice for bees. You can also catch some bees (especially queen bees) and put them into Imke to attract bees after waxing hives. If you still don’t have the bees in Imke it is best to seek help from an experienced Imker. Plant blue, violet, yellow and white magnet flowers in the flower box. Store in warm weather conditions under a shade with moderate moisture. During very moist, wet and snowy weather conditions it is advisable to store under a protective shed. Ensure the hives are free from any pests. Hives should be sited under a shade.

Imke comes in a combination of purple and green colures on the outside, it is rectangular with dimensions of length 400 x 100 x 300 mm.
