Project |02 The Colour Of Money:
A Glimpse Into World Currencies
From the tepid range of greens in U.S. currency, which are rumored to have remained green due to the nickname “greenbacks” issued by the U.S. Treasury for the Civil War, to the colourful Yuan- a nation’s currency design visually communicates a culture, aesthetic and national representation. The Colour Of Money was a quest into the value different countries assign to color as well as a spectrum of juxtaposition between different bills of the same denomination.
Project |03 Art Chanel
Our aim was to change the perceptions of the museum from a boring and conceptual place to a fun and interesting place through the Cooper Hewitt Museum's website. An interactive personal music video that lets you dance with animated art from the Cooper Hewitt collection.
