A&D ANNUAL 2021

River Le

River Le is a graphic designer with an interest in creative storytelling. His new project ‘LiNKSPACE’ is a proposed design that combines immersive spaces and collaborative social media. Consisting of virtual projections and a hybrid social drawing app, ‘LiNKSPACE’ uses speculative and participatory design to explore the potential of imaginative design. The aim of the project is to reimagine creativity as an everyday method of supporting emotional health, inviting all people regardless of ability to engage with art. As a prototype for the proposed interactive features, twelve participants of varying skill levels drew sketches according to four prompts. These were then coloured, refined and animated as part of an immersive video.
