Sprochs

The Sprochs from Daniel Goddemeyer (Interaction Design) are a family of characters that allow you to record a single voice message, then pass it on to someone else. Upon recording your message, you can set the level of effort and care from the receipient required to hear the message (by turning the ear like antenna). The inputs that the Sprochs reacts to can be time, light, the sun, air quality or smoke etc.

“Unfortunately, due to unlucky circumstances, the Sprochs have beared some rather unwanted children in the past who, once in a while, wake up by themselves, demand attention and the exposure to a certain sensory input within a certain timeframe. If not given this attention demanded for, the message will eventually be deleted and is forever lost…

A look at how curiosity can be used to change behaviours or motivate”.

Unfortunately the Sprochs didn’t want to come out and play during the show and were on display in a glass box, but you get the idea.
