Wood work
The Idealog Log Experiment: Wrestler's completely pointless, extremely entertaining augmented reality bowl
At Idealog, we regularly celebrate our community’s brilliance. But, just as we did in 2017 with our Block Party experiment, when we sent a whole bunch of Lego to some of our favourite humans from the fields of art, design, architecture and creative business and asked them to do something interesting with it, we want to showcase that brilliance in different ways. So, once again, we’ve tapped into the talents of the Idealog community for the 2018 Design Issue and, in honour of our spirit ‘animal’, The Idea Log, we sent a few hunks ‘o wood out to some friends of the Idealog family to see what they could do. Here's what Wrestler came up with.

Media is designed to make us feel things. But can virtual reality – sometimes referred to by the believers as an ‘empathy machine’ – make us do things and influence our behaviour in the real world? Ben Forman and Kat Lintott, co-founders of Wellington production company Wrestler, certainly think so.
