Installation art illustrates experience well

Menashe Kadishman contributed an installation titled Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves) to the Jewish Museum Berlin (for a Memory Void – a harsh, concrete-walled empty space within the Libeskind Building). Over 10,000 open-mouthed faces coarsely cut from heavy, circular iron plates cover the floor (which Kadishman asks the viewer to walk upon). The installation provides a number of examples around the question of exactly what an experience is. A review of the installation can be found here.

There is also a video which provides a slight sense of the experience.

Which people?

Whereas we used to think we were designing a product or an interface for a user, we now think of experience design. As a consequence we have to recognise that products affect the experiences of many more people than just the user.

Experience is infinite

Where does experience start and stop? Few products exist in isolation of a broader context filled with (and interacting with) other people and other products and services.
