Geoffrey Cooper is a human-centered designer with a keen perception of the world around him. Coming from a diverse academic background and having lived in many countries, he is able to apply his diverse thinking to the ever-changing design landscape. He is an innovator in interactive navigation and interactive materials, and specializes in designing information-rich devices.
Geoffrey graduated from Art Center College of Design in 2009, with two of his products already on the market. His goal for the future is to bring product design and interaction design closer together, until one day the line between them is blurred.
Slide show of images from the life of poet Arthur Rimbaud. Contemporary images of Charleville, the Commune, Paris, London and many photographs of Aden and Harrar taken by Rimbaud himself. Manuscripts in Rimbaud’s own handwriting, drawings by Delahaye and friends. Poems read by Joan Baez were grafted onto some music for an attempt to gather a visual of Rimbaud’s life, friends and places he would have known.
“Work asked me to do something for their Christmas card. I work for an Interactive Agency.
To cut a long story short, after a company-wide upgrade the agency had a lot of old mobiles gathering dust. We took these, built and hoisted a gigantic interactive chandelier/mobile that plays Christmas jingles in our reception.
To add a little xmas spice to the mix, anyone can go online and enjoy annoying the hell out of people waiting around in the reception, by playing the thing live from their web browser: xmas.lbi.co.uk
Mobile Mobile has been made as a semi-permanent hanging (exhibition) space. In January the mobiles will be replaced with another hanging media, then updated month in, month out.
Mobile Mobile is just one in a line of many great lo-fi art/build concepts; from the Design Museum’s Aquarium, Digital By Design, Troika and The Cloud, the Printer Bleeping Thingy (I can’t remember who did it), all the great work by W+K, and of course, AKQA’s wonderful microwaves from last Christmas.
Looking forward to many more to come.
