A necklace that changes shape as you wear it and a ‘scary’ visualisation of visitors’ social media followers are just two examples of what to see.

Universal Everything, a studio known for exploring new technologies, is displaying various innovative graphics as part of Sheffield Design Week- an annual event celebrating design in all its forms.

Patrick Murphy, Director of the event, said: “Sheffield Design Week is to give life to a lot of design companies that are based in Sheffield to express what they do.”

One piece of artwork taps into the social-media-crazed modern world by visualising people’s Twitter followers as animations that physically follow the user wherever he or she goes.

Patrick said: “It’s actually quite scary when you realise just how many followers you’ve got on social media.”
