The 2nd Graduation Exhibition of UIC’s Information and Interaction Design

 

 

On October 22, Information and Interaction Design (IID) from the Techno-Art Division (TAD) held its 2nd graduation exhibition. First established in 2012, TAD is a division that combines design, technology and management. IID focuses on developing effective information systems and exploring new forms of interaction based on the principles of human-centered design and thereby nurturing creative global leaders.

 

A total of 16 students exhibited various works during the graduation exhibition, which revolved around the concept of ’GYRO.’ The ‘GYRO’ in Latin means ‘to turn,’ or ‘a loop.’ With a shared background in design, each student reinterpreted gyro in their own unique way and expressed it in the forms of app designs, games, motion graphics and installations.

 

 

 

From anonymous SNS services for fighting addiction, to games that attempt to rediscover the lost colors of our cities, to interviews that make the viewer reflect on the meaning of life, to abstract works that study the beauty of the line, to installations that portray the humanity’s desire for recognition, many art works.

 

The exhibition kicked off on a high note; on the first day, students and faculty attended the opening event to commemorate the meaningful works of each student. The 16 students who displayed their works, which required great efforts and dedication, took time to explain their pieces to the attendees. UIC's 2nd IID Graduation Exhibition, a greatly anticipated venue, started on October 22 and, continuing for ten days.
