Jip EilbrachtPortfolioI create things out of curiosity from my daily encounters with people, situations and artefacts. While designing I focus on the involved interactions between people and their surroundings, and I like to combine the physical with the digital world.More about meIn this portfolio you will find a categorised selection of my personal, professional and educational design projects. More recently I've been focussing on designing tangible objects around an interaction, whereas before that it was more digitally centered. A long time ago I made videos and websites as a freelancer.Category:HighlightsPhysicalDigitalMediaHighlightsTEDxYouth @ DelftMicrosoft Design internshipART+COM internshipPhysical designART+COM internshipMarch 2014 - July 2014ART+COM StudiosCopyrightDuring my five month internship in Berlin I mostly helped with communication projects. Next to this I participated in the research team, where concepts for the smart-home were explored. My activities ranged from creating production-ready graphics, making concepts and storyboards for exhibitions and making interactive digital or physical prototypes for installations.ART+COM is an award winning new media design company. The studio, which was established in 1988, creates new media installations and spaces in three categories: Art, Communication and Research. The company is famous for its kinetic sculptures and experimental interactive installations. Other projects include interactive exhibitions: musea full with playful installations and cutting-edge interactive artefacts.Museum exhibition designExperience Center Royal Jelling, DenmarkExperience Center JellingThe other project concerned the museum of Jelling, Denmark.

This long term design project was reaching its end, therefore I primarily helped in making graphics and interfaces production ready. In the exhibition, interactive media installations teached visitors all about the invisible microscopic world. These installations ranged from large wall screens to kinect user interfaces and small kiosks with video and text.Speculative design projectThis blog post appeared on the blog of ART+COM, in which I explain one of the concepts I made while working with the research team in the company.Speculative design: discarded phones as interfaces in the smart homeThe Smart Home field has been receiving attention from computer technologists and designers for some time already; the promise within closer reach of consumers every day. And while a smart home is filled with sensors, screens and chips, their presence should be attenuated — technology fades into the background as attention seeking notifications make way for
