EXHIBITON VISIT: PLAY WELL, WHY PLAY WELL MATTERS @ THE WELLCOME COLLECTION

* SCAN In booklet

I enjoyed the Play Well Exhibition, it wasn't my favourite and I feel that it was definitely very targeted at children of people who are interested more in psychology than design but it was a very insightful outlook on the human experience of play, why it is important and the way products are designed to evoke play in different ways. It would have made sense if the exhibition was a lot more interactive since the Wellcome Collection is such a fun space and the whole concept of the exhibition was about playing.

One aspect that really stood out to me was the video showing school boys in a room full of sculptures going from very calm and peacefully viewing the work to then gradually chaotic, destroying the sculptures and running about. What fascinates me, and what links really closely to my project, is what flipped in all of their minds? when was the moment of a sense of losing oneself? How did the irrationality come out on top? I watched the ongoing video for about twenty minutes since the unpredictably and the way they just let go so randomly left me with so many questions that I will bring into my work.
