"Welcome to the Wikipedia Sandbox!"

On Wikipedia, the sandbox is a feature that gives you a place to experiment, either to build a draft for later publication in the main encyclopedia, or just to practice formatting. Entering the community sandbox at any moment means you may stumble upon: an editor testing out different templates, an anonymous user who published a single “hello” to confirm they really could edit anything, a dedicated bot who just blanked the page…and many other characters.

To many, the sandbox is where it all starts—the beginnings of loose ideas, waiting to be published.

I had the pleasure to have worked with the Wikimedia Foundation to interpret this communal space into a physical artifact.

Thank you to Matthew Williams and the Wikimedia Foundation Design Team

The best of life are interludes: pleasant times between troubles and cares, the mundane everyday between breakthroughs, a pause, a hyphen, a voice message, a passage that connects two states of mind, the instrumental part of a song, a moment to catch your breath, that which always seems longer when you’re waiting for it rather than just taking it in, a playlist cover turned over-the-top visualizer by Jade and Sharon—

Gamifying the experience of performing a difficult song in public, the vibrant worlds of karaoke and rhythm games combine into a playlist cover turned over-the-top visualizer.
