A Board Game And An Object Oriented Experiment

I SPY/I AM A Paper Prototype

I Spy is community based board game that promotes competition in teams through a point system of plus and minus cards. Each team will use individual boards and score their own team members based on green and gray behavior — green behavior is actions that contribute to the sustainability of the office space (this is perceived subjectively), gray behavior is unsustainable behavior in the workplace (again perceived subjectively).

Our aim is to move towards a gamified office space that evokes community building through the used of a shared board.

#CupsCanMakeItHappen: An Object Oriented Social Experiment

Do you think you’re environmentally conscious? How far does your through process take you in changing our daily routine? Can a product change the way you interact with a coffee machine? These are the fundamental question our experiment will answer. Through an ethnographic approach we placed cups in the creator’s lab to answer whether people will use alternative plastic cups rather than paper cups if they were both to be placed in front of them, and presented the choice of using either one? Below are quotes that capture answers to those that refused as well as those that participated in the experiment.

The quotes used capture the sentiment of cup users — displaying how placing a mere object like a cup may not get users to think about sustainability or re-usability but avoid negative confrontational conversations.
