Eye Candy

Children's sweets and lollipops with electronic interfaces

The joining of sweets with electronics in the form of a grid or a USB connection is, on the face of it, an illogical juxtaposition.

But we know that the brain can process visual images through other organs apart from the eye.

The tongue, with its concentration of nerve endings and its saliva, is particularly adept at receiving electronic stimuli and passing them onto the brain. With a fine electronic grid placed on the tongue, you could suck on the sweet or lollipop and see beautiful explosions of colour.

That is a trivial (although far from unreasonable) act of everyday self-gratification. But by re-thinkingand re-classifying the way we approach technology and the senses, we can be more imaginative and constructive in the way we envision future possibilities.

The models displayed at the MoMA's Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition are deliberately intended to invite such a change of approach.

Showing Memory Stücks and Whiteboard Frames

From the 3rd until the 7th of June we will be opening our doors to the Beta Tank at DMY Allstars in the ÏMA Design Village. Come around to Ritterstrasse 12-14 if you happen to be in Berlin and have a look at our two new projects Memory Stücks and Whiteboard Frames!

A workshop?
 Anyhow, it’s in Berlin.
