Skyway
Team IGNITE is a light design studio which focuses on making a social impact and innovation. Within team IGNITE, team SHINE has worked on a project that was showcased at GLOW 2024, Eindhoven.
Project SKYWAY is encouraging people to get out of the severely light-polluted cities, and go chase the starry sky.
Designing with light, and designing for such a large audience, was something I have never done before. Besides networking and pitching skills, SKYWAY taught me how to view user experience design from a whole new perspective: how will the individual feel immersed in the experience? How will the crowd engage together with the narrative of the story? What are the physical risks of the installation, but what are the "design risks" in having our message misunderstood? All of these factors shaped how I approach designing for multiple users at once, and how to use light as a medium for storytelling and interaction.
