Design Intervention
Abyss of death - mosh pit
Taking inspiration from the mosh pits of heavier music scenes, this design aims to create an atmosphere of claustrophobia and imminent danger. The sticky texture of the floor corresponds with the environment of the non-placeas well as the idea of being stuck in a cage explored in the wearable. Furthermore, this idea is also expressed using a tunnel design for the space.
Hands: 3d print model
The hands are representative of people in a crowd pushing abrasively and grasping onto others to keep from falling over. They come from all directions and are in abundance to show how tightly packed these crowds can get.
LED red lights:
The red lights are symbolic of the injury sustained during high intensity concerts such as scrapes, cuts, bruises, broken bones and even death.
Tunnel: side walls cardboard, red acrylic board
The tunnel shows the difficulty of escaping this intense environment where the pushing and shoving is inevitable to go through in order to leave.
Dark: black spray paint
The dark atmosphere presents a feeling of anxiety in mosh pits and supports the theme of a dark abyss.
