Installation ‘The Story Machine’

The Story Machine is an interactive installation for Women Connected, inspired by the classic slot machine, reimagined as a soft, poetic object. Instead of noise and spectacle, it invites visitors to slow down, listen, and explore carefully crafted stories of women who embroided their self portrets. 

 

The machine combines refined design with a deep love for craftsmanship. Hand-made details, play a central role, making the experience feel tactile and intimate rather than digital.

 

Stories are activated through playful interactions, by pressing a glowing button or pulling a lever, revealing animations and narratives hidden within the physical object itself. Designed in modular parts, the installation is easy to transport and assemble.
