With the ‘Interface’ they appropriate an exploration of these aspects within a matrix of intersecting strands strategizing the perpetual negotiation between academia and practice aiming to build on the reciprocal relationship between design work and its
‘Interface’ presents itself as an object in space describing its own formal tactics. With the primary aim to curate the surrounding space the object registers directional impact in the form of imprints or folds in its surface. The folds as physical distortions of a boundary appropriate interruptions in the movement around the object. Where these interruptions occur conceptual windows are placed as spatial diagrams, inscribed into the fold, providing the opportunity for an audience to enter notions of interiority. These conceptual windows could be described as autobiographical, recording their own presence as
