ITERATION 1.2Torture chair, has 4 different sides to it; one side had acrylic rods in different heights so it would be
very uncomfortable, one side having a push sensor that when sat on it would start a heating pad and
release unbearable heat, another side having a plastic sheet in which inside consisted in different sizes
of acrylic balls, and form of rocks, that moves when sat on, and the last side being sticky so when sat
on you could not move.

PRECEDENTS 1.2DUNNE AND RABY
Dunne & Raby use design as a medium to stimulate discussion and debate amongst designers, industry and the public about the social, cultural and ethical implications of existing and emerging technologies.
The em-muzzle connects the highly sensitive part of a dog's brain concerned with processing smell to an antenna for sensing electromagnetic fields. The kevlar mask blocks the eyes and ears of the dog so that it can guide its handler to an electronically unmonitored zone.
Robot 1: it needs to avoid strong electromagnetic fields as these might cause it to malfunction. Every time a TV or radio is switched on, or a mobile phone is activated it moves itself to the electromagnetically quietest part of the room. As it is ring shaped, the owner could, if they liked, place their chair in its centre, or stand there and enjoy the fact that this is a good space to be in.

NOAM TORAN
PRECEDENTS 1.3
Object for Lonely Men 2001 Video shot on DVCAM
Object for Lonely Men tells the story of a man so obsessed with Godard’s Breathless that he designs and builds a tray which reflects the physical language of the film. The tray is made from a single sheet of vacuum formed plastic and has recesses which house the objects that the man interacts with. The objects include a mannequin head which resembles Jean Seberg (the female lead), a gun, hat, telephone, Herald Tribune newspaper, sunglasses, ashtray, steering wheel, rear view mirror and a pack of Gitanes non-filtered cigarettes. The tray serves as an outlet for the man’s desires; it allows him to directly channel the influence of the movie on his fantasies into physical action.
Noam Toran’s work involves the creation of intricate narratives developed as a means to reflect upon the interrelations of cinema, history, mass culture, and individual and collective psychology. The works are most often exhibited as sculptures, films and installations.
