Leaving Traces
designed by: Silvia Lim

Traces are everywhere around us and contain a wealth of information; Yet we tend to overlook them. When we start paying attention to this subtle and quiet aspect of our lives, what new frontier or applications could arise? What new and meaningful products and experiences could exist when we use traces as the central driving force in our designs?

This project focuses on traces that reveals insights and seeks to open new doors and new pathways where hidden information might become manifested in more obvious ways.
