Viral interaction take 2


Another inspirational interactive and viral piece of design that I discovered tonight.

"Appeel is a virus spreading through interacting individuals. Surfaces are covered by thousands of coloured stickers laid out in a grid."

"Appeel inherits basic principles of interactivity and generativity applied to purely analogous means. Its immanent potential of penetrating regulated public and private space counterpoints its apparent plainness. The dot spreads with the promise to ironically mark its carrier as a symbol of sale and possession."

This is the work of the greeneyl + segewald. Simply a group of guys whom like to explore unconventional interactions.

This discovery has just made my evening, or rather morning,as it is now 00:21
