- Text by William Oliver
Thai design collective Be Our Friend combine traditional, hand-crafted objects and digital technology to create surreal representations of the groups dreams. Based in Bangkok, the group bring together intricate physical skills, such as illustration, origami and weaving, with digitally-programmed mechanical parts that react to the location of the viewer, resulting in a version of their dreams that everyone can see. Describing what they do as "bringing dreams to life" the collective produce inspiring, innocent and enthralling installations.
