    Hannah Grace Minji Lim is a Seattle native and a junior at Wellesley College, majoring in Media Arts and Sciences, an interdisciplinary program that combines computer science and studio art. Her academic journey revolves around exploring the intersections of media, technology, and design. No matter how ridged the architecture, she seeks a woven connection between humans and our technology. Her story is an overlock between creative mediums and human-computer interaction, with particular interests in graphic, product, and fashion design. Hannah is a middle child, a coffee enthusiast, and a Leo (if you were curious)— though she’s not quite convinced by zodiac signs.

This project was centered on designing a camera for producing cyanotypes— a photographic printing process that results in a cyan-blue image through a chemical reaction on light-sensitive paper exposed to UV light. We explored how personal belongings reflect our identity and values. We reimagined the cyanotype camera as a multifunctional bag, capable of holding, displaying, and capturing images of the items that shape our lives.

To use, the user opens the bag pulling the two handles. They insert a sheet of cyanotype paper behind the built-in shelf, then arrange their personal items on the shelf as desired. The user closes the bag, then unclasps the strap, which discreetly holds the power cord connected to the UV light on the side opposite of the shelf. They plug the cord into an outlet and activate the UV light using the switch located on the strap, then close the bag securely. The cyanotype exposure process takes about one hour. Once complete, the user turns off the UV light, removes the cyanotype paper, and finishes the development process by washing the print in water.
