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…
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…
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…
As I already mentioned, technological development are encouraged in first place for military and security purposes and only afterwards, usually, arrives a sort of democratisation of the technology, which is then applied also to other features of life.
In order to speculate about the future of surveillance it’s important, firstly, to focus on the proper meaning of the word surveillance,…
In the previous post I talked about biometrics and in particular of facial recognition. Data extracted through these systems are surely more reliable than data got through other systems of surveillance so, even if still potentially dangerous, an automation of surveillance systems based on biometrics would be much more acceptable than a system which gets its data through tracking paths…
Most of technological developments have been improved first of all for military purposes and often used as/for weapons. The reason is in most of the cases is the high cost of researches, experimentations and first prototypes, which usually can be covered only by governments funding for military purposes. Thus, weapons are incredibly developed, but current issue in big discussion regards …
With news nowadays referring to a war on terrorism and threatening protagonists living hidden around us, the theme of surveillance and public identification is often in the spotlight. Governments are seeing the growth of fear, due to recent terrorist attacks in Europe, as a good reason to intensify surveillance systems. Many people, though are concerned about their privacy, which would…
The CEO of IDEO, Tim Brown in the last years has been focusing on design thinking, so that he his also running a blog regarding exclusively this topic.
Here is one of his most famous talks, where he urges designers to think big, to focus on more important things than fashionable little objects and so to redefine the function of…
