Containment Breach

ABOUT

The SCP Foundation is a fictional secret organization documented by the collaborative writing wiki project of the same name. Within the website's shared universe, the Foundation is responsible for capturing and containing various paranormal, supernatural, and other mysterious phenomena unexplained by mainstream science (known as "anomalies" or "SCPs"), while also keeping their existence hidden from the rest of human society. The real-world website is community-based and includes elements of many genres such as horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy.

ABOUT

When’s the last time you visited a library? Browsed the stacks…Smelled the pages?

The Hunt Library bookBot, a robotic book delivery system, can store up to two million items in a climate-controlled environment and deliver any of them within five minutes of a click in the online catalog. Requiring one-ninth the space of conventional shelving, the bookBot helps transform this 21st-century library from a storage facility into a rich environment of learning and collaborative spaces.

However, not everyone is pleased. As more and more print materials are retired from the open shelves of Hunt Library and stored in bins only accessible by the bookBot, library visitors can no longer experience the simple joys of getting lost amidst the shelves, holding a book in their hands, or the rare joy of stumbling upon an undiscovered favorite.

These animated set of illustrations are sourced from materials now retired from Hunt Library’s open shelves to the bookBot; originally discovered the old-fashioned way.

 
 

BEYOND CURIE

VISION

— Beyond Curie is a design project that highlights badass women in science, technology, engineering + mathematics.

Inspired by and created in partnership with Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya my team at Laber Labs published an augmented reality app bringing the poster series to life for its exhibition at The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. By using the Beyond Curie augmented reality app, museum visitors could see beautiful 3-D animations hidden inside some of the portraits.

Our augmented reality animations can be seen using a free mobile app called "Beyond Curie" available on Google Play and the App Store.

To enrich our partnership beyond our augmented reality app, we created an additional series of posters celebrating women in STEM from North Carolina State University. We researched, designed, and iterated upon visual posters embodying the style of Phingbodhipakkiya’s work.
