Open Call 9. ‘Warp’ by London-based Simon Husslein 115 is a rotating timepiece
originally designed for the six-storey rotunda of the Great Eastern Hotel,
London. Husslein has worked on product design, interfaces, fonts, timepieces
and furniture and has managed projects for clients like BMW, Panasonic and
Sony. The protruding warped forms (built by the SLS® process) cast shadows
of numbers from the twenty four hour clock to tell the time when each form is
aligned with the light. The entire mechanism rotates once every twenty four
hours.

‘Warp’ was referenced by the press in at least one article. From the audience
surveys received, one visitor indicated that ‘Warp’ was their most liked thing
about the exhibition.
Open Call 10. ‘Remember to Forget?’ by Belfast-based Aoife Ludlow 116 consists
of a jewellery box and related pieces of jewellery which explore notions of
memory, change and habit. Ludlow works as a Research Assistant at Interface:
Research in Art, Technologies and Design in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This
work adds another communicative/reflective layer to the experience of wearing
jewellery and the traditional interaction between person, object and container.
