It was an amazing week, in this course we talked about the concept of "prothesis". With Saul we discovered a varius field of researching and how a designer need to be a part of his design process, to be a part of a system and design an intervention for our emergent future. The week was composed in two time: the time of talking about the concept of prothesis and his world, and the prototype time. Each day had a determinate key-word and we worked on that purpose.
In "Manifesto of Cyborgs," the concept of "prosthesis" is explored as a means of extending and enhancing human capabilities through technology. This idea blurs the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, emphasizing that prostheses are not merely physical aids. Instead, they play a crucial role in shaping identities and social relationships, illustrating how deeply intertwined human experiences are with technological advancements. The discussion invites a reevaluation of what it means to be human in a technologically mediated world.
If you had the possibilities to become the best version of yourself, what would you do ? We have the opportunities to think about a prothesis that could increase ourself vision. We discovered the prothesis' idea of having a tool that increase/(limits?) ours skills, way of living, social communication etc...
Is composed in two part:
The mouth is the only part of the face that's free, this because from the device you could express yourself better and improve your emphaty by the sourrandigs.
If you had the possibilities to become a no-human things, what would you do ? We have the opportunities to think about a prothesis that could change your human beings, we reach this concept thanks to the talk with Thomas Twaites and his project "The goat man".
I developed a game, which takes inspiration from Mrs Potato and Atlas of Weak Signal. Think you can detach your limbs and attach them to any living or non-living object (plants/trash), also think you can choose which senses you can use in this experience. With this game you will live this experience: first of all must connect the various parts of your body in an object and then throw the 5 senses' dice. ENJOY IT !!!
If you had the possibilities to become a detective, what would you do ? We have this opportunities to be for an hour a detective and understand the background, behaviour and who is. If you had the possibilities to become a subject for an investigation, what would you do ? We have this opportunities to be for an hour a subject and inveted a story about.
I was Mohit’s detective, trying to figure out who he was and what he did. It was complicated at first, but before investigating I just judged how it looked and how it behaved. After that I started to ask myself questions about his helmet, and I discovered many things: he was an alien, stuck in the palace of the Iaac but I do not know if he was rightly or unjustly blocked.
I was for an hour a failed experiment, as frankestein, a doctor wanted to cure my Tourette syndrome. But he failed and I came out: a man half parrot who has an addiction to coffee and sugar instead of putting it in the coffee keeps it, and, owns an electronic device able to hack everything that is in the city (Watchdogs)
