Hidden Printers

The Hidden Printers are a series of cases that allow small photo printers to be easily hidden in places around the home. Once hidden they will print a photograph and wait until they are found. The intended locations are all places where members of the household might be searching for something else. When they find the printer, they can swap it’s case and hide it somewhere else, ready for the next person to find.

Images are printed at random,so although you can determine to some extent who will find the printer, you can’t predetermine what the gift will be.

One printer can be hooked under sofa cushion, so that photos are discovered down the back of the sofaAnother can be placed in the back of a drawer, so that photos can be discovered when searching for something else.Another can be stuck onto the window behind curtains or blinds. While another can hung on a coat hook, ready to be found when someone fetches their coat.

My name is Mark and I’m a product interaction designer. Or something.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Horizon Digital Economy Research Hub at the University of Nottingham. As well as conducting my own research into the design of more emotionally valuable and temporally enduring technologies, I continue to be involved in ongoing research projects exploring the possibilities of  ’Technology Heirlooms’.

Anyway, feel free to have a look around and if  you think you might be interested in working with me get in touch.
