Sheffield based guest lecturer Matt Pyke visited to show his input to the design industry. Pyke works from his 'Electronic cottage' studio in the bottom of his garden following an art direction approach to design. Being the only full time designer based in his studio Pyke finds specialist designers to collaborate on his designs to bring his initial ideas to life. Pyke has produced collaborative work in this manor for numerous clients Including:
Nokia
London 2012 Olympics
Audi
George Michael
Love Bytes Art Festival
Advanced Beauty (advanced beauty.org)
V&A Courtyard
Matt Pyke's concepts are very unusual. Using modern computer technology he creates mathematical interfaces that react to various sensitivity detected by sensors creating an image/shape depending on what is censored by the software producing very ambitious pieces if work.
Matt Pyke's work is very inspiring and has certainly made me consider thinking further than the obvious in future within my design. My favorite piece from his work has to be the lighting display from the V&A exhibition. The unpredictable elements within this piece creates a sense of surprise by producing beautiful shapes unintentionally. The fact that what is produced by the software could never be reproduced and is subject to it's situation at it's given time creates a very power full piece.
