2ND MENTORING DAY AT SHIFT

Lalya — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:38:37 +0000

Another great day of mentoring young creative graduates at the Shift programme!

Shift is an internship programme for young creatives, organised by Newcastle-based Studio Precept. It involves a wide variety of mentors from the industry, to advise the interns and give them practical skills through focused workshops.

Attaya director Lalya (well that’s me writing this post anyway, init) is one of the expert mentors recruited for the programme, where she’s holding a series of workshops and seminars about design for digital interactions in 3D physical space in general, and urban interaction design in particular.

This session was open to the public and ended with presentations of group projects, which ranged from interactive furniture to street art for the elderlies. Great fun!

Shift Open Day

Remember Shift, the internship programme for young creative we’re involved in? There was an open day the other day at Studio Precept the other day, and Attaya took part in it.

It was a great occasion to meet with prospective interns, catch up with other teachers and mentors and ravage the buffet. We also did portfolio crits and demos. Lalya’s demo showed how to use projection mapping techniques and draw with light on 3D objects (here, a japanese wooden 3D puzzle), using MadMapper. Great fun!

How Studio Precept looks like when the space is not having an open day!

We’ll upload a little demo video of this one of these days.

First Mentoring Day at Shift!

Lalya — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:14:10 +0000

Fun day teaching urban interaction design, physical computing and iterative prototyping at the Shift internship programme today!

A little bit of projection mapping… a little bit of Arduino… a fair amount of overview on seminal projects and relevant design methods… and a lot of iterative prototyping and group projects(-ing)!

Attaya director Lalya (well that’s me writing this post anyway, init) is one of the expert mentors recruited for the programme, and this was the first of a series of regular workshops she’s holding at Shift about design for digital interactions in 3D physical space in general, and urban interaction design in particular.

The next one will take place in October and will be open to the public as well, after registration!

Shift Live No.1 – Kickstarting our Collaboration with Shift

Lalya — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:36:39 +0000

Lalya will soon start taking part in Shift, an internship programme for young creatives. She will be one of the expert mentors advising the interns and will be giving regular workshops about design for digital interactions in 3D physical space in general, and urban interaction design in particular.

Want to know more about it? Come to the Shift Live No.1 launch party for the programme, at Hoults Yard in Byker, Newcastle, on Thursday 28th March!

Lalya will be there to give a talk about her contribution to the programme, and there will also be live music from local band Static Soul!
