Exercise 3.3: Speculations – Ken Mead & Cindy Wang

Warm Vanilla Sugar

Grow, Memory, Event, Serenity

It’s 2029, and our “Full Bloom Experience” has turned into Warm Vanilla Sugar. It is a progressive society with a GROWTH outlook. The flowers now float, and have turned into vanilla flowers that impart a sweet vanilla scent as people sit underneath. The warm scent of vanilla, the green surroundings, and the calm lake work together to create a SERENE place to be. Scent is a strongly correlated to MEMORY, and the scent of the decadent vanilla bean cake to commemorate this birthday EVENT is a reminder of the ghosts of his younger self.

  1. Great job for representing the sensory experience on the 2D visual space! I love how the projected 2029 experience is indeed painted on a very vintage background, but the connection across the ghost and birthday cake in relation to the “present self” could be further developed. I wonder if the background could be layered with more visual cues to support what the “event” is and illustrate the dynamic of “growth” over time. As the ghost and the self seem to be very disconnected, and maybe this is where your narratives can provide more details.
