ReCollection

ReCollection is an interactive art installation that forms images of personal memories from spoken language. Participants whisper a fragmented memory into a microphone. An artificial intelligence system converts the speech into text, completes the sentence as a short narrative, and generates images from the narrative. The images are then processed algorithmically into an evolving real-time visualization. The installation explores the relation between language, memory and imagination, and is also intended as a prototype for future work with people affected by dementia.

Helpmet

Helpmet is a smart health monitoring helmet specifically designed for construction workers, aimed at ensuring their safety while working in hot weather conditions and preventing heatstroke from posing risks to their health. The helmet's warning function allows surrounding coworkers and supervisors to be informed about the wearer's condition. Combined with the app, it not only helps workers understand their physical condition but also provides recommendations based on their condition to help alleviate symptoms of heatstroke.

Seniors Keeper

Seniors Keeper is a smart door lock designed for elderly people living alone. The lock connects to vital signs sensing devices such as smartwatches. When an emergency is detected at home, the lock emits red light, projects a call for help, notifies emergency contacts and opens the door automatically. Neighbours or rescue workers can then speak with the resident through the microphone and speaker built into the lock. A motor drives the lock core, so the door can be opened even when it is locked from the inside. The lock has a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 50 mm.

The Book That Grew

The Book That Grew is a grazing guide created for farmers in Ireland. The book presents 10 lessons and 10 pieces of practical advice that help improve sustainability on farms. Each page, each word and each diagram was formed by real grass roots as they grew. The roots were guided over several weeks by a combination of gardening and careful craft, so the printing process was completed by nature. Complex farming processes are explained through a set of bespoke symbols, and a fold-out page lets the reader check the symbol key while reading. Closed, the book measures 29.7 by 42 centimeters.

Venous

Venous Materials is a soft interactive material that displays dynamic patterns in response to touch. The design is inspired by vein structures found in plants, leaves and the human body. Fluid moves through internal channels when pressure or deformation is applied, creating visible changes of color and pattern. Each sheet works as both a sensor and a display of tangible information. The material is made of PDMS silicone and ecoline ink, using laser engraving and manual laboratory processes. Prototypes measure from 5 by 5 centimeters to 15 by 15 centimeters.

Silicon

Silicon is a semi automatic infusion dosing system that controls the flow rate and the duration of intravenous medication. A mechanical timer and a flow rate valve are placed above and below the infusion tube, so medical staff can set the required drip rate and time without mental calculation. When the dose is complete, the valve switches to a physiological saline mode and the injection continues, which reduces the risk of errors during busy periods. Silicon needs no electricity and can therefore serve areas with limited medical resources.
