Life and Death
Foreword
Life and Death Heaven and Hell Light and Darkness Spring and Autumn Joy and Sorrow. Different sides of the same coin 1

Perceiving Today
The Patient
The patient is a Person at the mercy of Machines and Doctors Standing at the threshold Of Life and Death. 2
A Patient suffering at the Hospital. Is this an environment of RECOVERY?
(From a mood sketches made by the author at the Umeå University Hospital)

Perceiving Today
Loved ones Brought together In their concern for the individual, They revive memories of the past. It is a time for prayer and optimism, A time to hope for the future, A time to appreciate Life much more.
The Relatives

Perceiving Today
The Hospital ICU
An Intense Depressing Space, Where a Person’s Life often is placed, In the Hands of the Machine, The Doctor, And the Divine. 4

Perceiving Today
The Ventilator
The Ventilator provides oxygen to a Person, It Breathes, It gives Life. It is a source of Hope, Of Happiness, Of Vitality. 5
The current perception of a Mechanical Ventilator in the minds of people who are not from the medical profession.
(sketched by the author at the Umeå University Hospital) The Perception Card Game - A soft questionnaire developed by the author to investigate the subconscious perceptions in the minds of people who worked at Hospitals - of Health, Ventilators, Nurses, Doctors etc.)

Perceiving Today
The Nurse
A Nurse or Doctor, Operating the Ventilator Nurtures the person at this threshold with the help of this Interface. Nourishes, Cares, Revives. 6
The Experiment at the Hospital - Images of Nurses and Doctors participating in a workshop conducted at the Umeå University Hospital to investigate the hidden aspirations and perception in the minds of the Medical staff who worked at the Hosptial.

Machine is the Message
A Ventilator is a Machine that gives a Hu- man Being the most important energy of Life
It should give a message of Hope. It should tell you to “Get Well Soon”. It should Live and Die with You.
These are objects of Love and good wishes, which one would fjnd at a hospital ICU. They are messages from Loved Ones. They are the only present human connection between patient and relative.
Object of Emotion

A New Genre of Hospitals - Places of Optimism The collage was prepared to demonstrate the existing emotional language in a hospital and how it could be affected to become something more positive.

When a Relative Enters the Room...
RFID tags on relative’s badges enable system to detect their presence - Butterfmies appear

SMILE (Alarm and Output Device)
Nurse’s badge
ALARM !
The badge is connected by wireless to the Ventilator Mainframe and sends off an alarm by glowing or vibrating.
Technical Output Device
The badge opens up into a portable mini-screen for the display of tangible output data which is relevant for the Medical professional only. The Nurse uses this device to read data and the uses the Bloom to change settings. The Relative and the Patient are spared the emotional trauma of blinking screens and sharp sounds. 16

DEATH (What happens when a patient dies?)
The Bloom Interface gradually stops glowing With every fading breath. Its petals gradually wilt inward. At the End It goes back to where it started. A Drop. A Seed. 17
