Congratulations Alanah on winning the BMW Group + QUT Design Academy Award!
2023, November
Congratulations to interaction design student Alanah Farr on winning the BMW Group + QUT Design Academy Award. This is awarded to the student with academic excellence, the most innovative use of emerging technology, and professional presentation and design communication.
‘The Tipping Point’ is an interactive textile that aims to draw attention to the fact that we are at a tipping point in history that will determine the fate of our Great Barrier Reef. This textile piece detects the user’s proximity and changes from coloured to colourless when approached, visually representing both climate data and the physical process of coral bleaching.
Her project focused on creating conversation and a call to action to reverse the ‘tipping point’ and save our precious reef.
Massive congratulations once again, Alanah! We wish you all the best for your creative career in the future.
