The Vestigii Ticker chair is an interactive resting place for the Vestigiii fashion studio in Berlin. It is not just being placed in the centre of the designer’s activity, but also inhabits an ephemeral, invisible information space that continuously streams information, news and data through the airwaves and copper cables of our modern cities.
The chair is designed to catch those ephemeral digital fragments, derived from ongoing world affairs and events, and relay them back into the physical space of the designer’s studio to let them condensate on the creative environment. In reference to the physical reality of our human lives, the projection is using electromechanical character sets that project words and short sentences onto a special mirror. This mirror transforms the light spectacle again into an intangible image, which magically overlays with the image of the observer.
The rhythm of the incoming data packets can be influenced by visitors resting on the chair to influence the frequency of incoming news.
