SELF ON THE SHELF

"Self on the Shelf", presented at the Spring Break Art Fair 2018 in New York, is an immersive and interactive installation created by Laia Cabrera, Isabelle Duverger, and Nicola Carpeggiani. This unique project blends storytelling with advanced technology to transform an ordinary child's bedroom into a dynamic, dreamlike environment.

Nicola Carpeggiani’s role as the interaction designer was pivotal in bringing the installation to life. He integrated interactive elements into the room, enabling visitors to physically engage with various objects that triggered changes in the immersive video projections. These tactile interactions altered the digital environment in real-time, allowing for a non-linear storytelling experience that adapted to each participant’s choices. By touching and manipulating the objects, viewers could uncover layers of narrative, shifting the room from serene dreamscapes to intense storms or fantastical realms.

The installation combined projection mapping and video design to envelop visitors in an evolving story, blending childlike wonder with deeper themes of identity and reflection. Carpeggiani’s expertise in interactive media ensured that the environment felt alive and responsive, turning visitors into co-creators of the experience.

"Self on the Shelf" exemplifies a harmonious fusion of interactivity and visual artistry, showcasing Carpeggiani's talent for designing engaging digital experiences that captivate audiences and challenge traditional storytelling methodsing
