Research/Proposal 01

As exercise for our Final Major project proposal submission, we have been asked to reverse engineer an existing design project and create a project proposal for it. The project which I chose to analyse is Jennifer Lyn Morone, Inc. by Jennifer Morone, RCA Design Interactions graduate. Within a list of few projects proposed to analyse, I immediately chose this one,…

The first scene doesn’t work

Few weeks ago I managed to shoot the first scene for my Speculative Design film, it was 30 seconds as expected, the weather was finally cloudy and sad, however it didn’t really work. It’s my first experience both as video director and as cameramen for something, say, built up. The scene is representing what I wanted, but really in a…

Project ready for Berlin

My project on Social Object is ready for the ThingsCon conference in Berlin. After spending a month trying to build a prototype forThe Stubborn Door, I had eventually to give in my idea for logistic reason (reported in my previous post). Hence, I get back to my previous room mockup showing The Morning Window having only a week I did…

The stubborn door – attempt failed

After the design critic with my tutor Nicolas, emerged that the prototype of the Morning Bling it’s nice and works fine, however it is only a scaled model and it’s impossible to interact with it. Furthermore, the strongest idea of my project is probably the stubborn door rather than the window. Thus I’ve been suggested to work on the door.…

First scene scene storyboard

The outcome of my speculative design project will be a 3 minutes film, where I intend to show how facial recognition technologies in everyday life would change people’s way to relate and how simple interactions between them would be probably mutated. I would like to show this in a sort of sad and paranoiac vision, on the same line of…

Cheeky Objects – first prototype

For a first prototype of the Cheeky Objects, my physical computing project focused on social objects for energy saving, I choose to represent one of them: the annoying window blind. The concept is very simple, when there is enough light outside, the window blinds will automatically open and the light inside will switch off, an easy trick to take advantage…

What if chosen scenario – New kind of relationships

The what if scenario which I chose to develop for my Speculative Design project is the one where the use of surveillance technologies and in particular of facial recognition systems will be democratised and applied to different fields. From security to common use. The idea is that people will have facial recognition technologies installed on their personal devices and through…

Interactive Hoarding for Cancer Foundation

Great example of interactive design used for marketing. This shocking project, made to rise awareness and support cancer research shows how powerful this discipline could be if applied to brilliant marketing ideas. The idea is from a Swedish marketing agency, which was normally advertise a shampoo brand, but realised this particular project for the Swedish childhood cancer foundation Barcancancer Fonden.…

What if scenarios

After having investigated the current status of surveillance systems and their possible developments, it’s time to think about some future what-if scenarios. I tried to think about different outcomes, from the most absurd to the most predictable and here they are listed: – COUNTERMEASURES with all the progresses in security there have always been developments to defeat those progresses. What…

Cheeky objects

“It’s not always easy to be with smarts, especially if they are smarter than you” The IoT aims to make our houses smarter and smarter, to enhance our comfort and our lifestyle, but what happens when a house knows better than you which behaviours are more appropriate and more sustainable for the environment for example? It could be not always…
