I was sick so the first week's day I wasn't in class, the other guys/girls made a collective design. They made it starting from their most important weak signals, areas of opportunity and cases studios. After talk about that, find and create groups where they link beetween each other; they made a faboulous billboard where they put theirs rappresentative design space's things and write some questions. This question are made for create more links and a collective design space. Unfortunally was in class, so the day after I tried to make something that could help me in enter in one of this collective design space.
Max, David, Lucretia, Flavio, Auxance and me didn't find a place in the previous day, but on the week end we met in class. We decided togheter to made another design collective space, so we re-started all the work flow. Was amazing did that type of brain storming with my classmate, because we talked not only about the design space but about different things; from the design, interest and personal life. I loved it.
All we was like really linked beetween each other, in fact was diffuclt understand and had a clear vision. So we decided to made a question about ours design reasearch or area of interest. Mine was "The waste is a problem or a start from a new working area? ". Lucretia, Auxance, Max and me was linked by this question; so we started our brainstroming and immagine our design intervention.
Each persons of the group define a strategy to inquire if we could make a noticeable difference by a change of habit, I started using my phone only without the calling. This beacuese I find out that in the phone's call spread only the 1% of batteries. For me this experience give me more consciusness about the potential of my phone: about energy and knowledge. We look about only the energy and make this intervention help me to understand: how a phone's behavio/different settings could affect us, in terms of energy spread and human behaviours; and that if you have the right knowledge in the right time (context) it's possible to repair a waste (E-waste) like the old Lucretia's phone by its programmed obsoloscence.
The first day we was all togheter in class with Saul, Jana and Roger. We update our magic wall's collective design space. It look like a mess, but we figured out with different groups and we started ours design group intervention.
Ours group was composed by Vitti, Bel, Max, Kevin and me; we create it started from the point about how intersect nature and technology. More and more we talked, we discovered that nature is a concept really huge and for different poin of view could be really different by each person(species). Our brain storming was so intense, whise other guys started to share their points of view. Worked with you all guys is amazing, hope you'll find a place in this world.
So each compent's group decided a type of material waste, according to Bel mushrooms' knowledge; because for example I really want to feed mushrooms with plastic, but due logistic time problem we didn't collect that material (because for make this you'll have to modify the molecular plastics' biologies). So me collect wood waste from the FabLab, Vitti and Bel collect coffe waste from Nude project, Kevin collect textile waste and Max collect cardboard waste. We design boxes for keep the mix about mushrooms and waste and, with data sensor, analyzed better their grown. This intervention help me to understand better that the intersection between nature and technology could react in people a change about the emergent situations in wich we are living, and this has resulted in why we always use the things/species/others like a slave ? Why they should work for us ? Why we don't/didn't COLLABORATE with other ?
To understand better mine reflection and question after my interventions I used miro as a tool to keep more clear what is in my head. Step by step I define better what is the shape of what I will do in my mdef's journey and (I hope) in the life.
