Thinteractions (Guided Tour and Artists Feature)

​Nanyang Technological University School of Art, Design & Media presents Thinteractions.

​This exclusive invite-only session offers a guided tour of the exhibition along with a forum discussion centered around Thinteractions and 'thin' techniques in design.

​Guests will be taken on a guided tour through the artworks, and engage in a forum discussion focusing on two featured works. The exploration will delve into the theme of thin spaces and ‘Thinteractions’, exploring their applications in forward-thinking design approaches and interaction design.

​Broad Schedule of Events to be headed by Berenice Chao and Neo Shu Xian:

​1400 - 1410 Introduction

​1410 - 1500 Guided Exhibition Tour

​1500 - 1530 Artists' Sharing of 2 Featured Works

​1530 - 1600 Forum Discussion, Q&A


Against the backdrop of the grandiose and overt, Thinteractions attempts to stretch the prevailing norms of easy designerly experiences that focus on scale and immersion, often at the cost of genuine connection and meaning.

​Drawing far inspiration from the Celtic concept of Thin Spaces, the exhibition is an investigation on the potential impact of 'thin' techniques and designerly-thinking in interactive experiences. Through this studio exercise, we propose a shift from the systemic expectation of creating large, attention-seeking interactive spaces; instead, we focus on efficiency, sustainability, and the exploration of thin qualities in spatial interactions.

​Thinteractions provides budding designers the platform to delve deeper into interactivity, where the emphasis is on the qualities of experiences that resonate with our innermost selves. This approach is not just a design choice but a scarce philosophical stance, questioning and redefining what it means to interact with space and with one another.

​This exhibition is an invitation to experience interactivity that hopes to be as spellbinding as the books we read, as fantastic as the places we travel to, and as intimate as the relationships we forge. Join us in experiencing Thinteractions, where the boundaries among space, people, and experience come closer.​
