After going to the exhibition (Design Fest 09), it gave me a very good experience. I felt that current trend is to add a little of interactivity to the design to allow the viewers to understand more about the message they want to put across in their designs. A very good example was the Amazonia in Singapore. This exhibition sets a good overall mood to set us feeling that we are really in the Amazon. Not only that, but some of the stuffs they exhibited there were not covered up in glasses and I could really come up close with the exhibits. There were more interaction with the exhibits and viewers in terms of using the five senses.
Another example is the typography exhibition. I thought that was a pretty good idea where typography is played in another form and yes, there were interactivity. The first thought that came across my mind before I even go for this exhibition, was that there will be big and huge text, colourful… But, I was wrong, I was welcomed by a very dark room, hunged up on the ceilings were the typography pieces. There were interaction whereby we could use the “light remote” to shine across the exhibits and there would be shadows appearing on top of the ceiling.
