Let’s talk about our future!
We are building a future of things that observe us and the environment, that learn and are trained to take decisions. Some of us are scared about it, some are just waiting for their life to become fully automated. Some of us believe that everything will be connected, efficient and beautiful and things will just work. But reality might be different.
We will look into a weird, awkward, and potentially ironic future where objects know partial, wrong or even biased information about us, where things will fail to perform, and where maybe efficiency will not the only value.
In this talk Simone Rebaudengo will present some of the work of his studio/collective Automato.farm around real fictional products, to open a discussion around some of the assumptions we have about these new smart, robotic, automated stuff that will be living with us in our homes and cities.
未来のテクノロジー×私たちの生活
IoTやテクノロジーの発展によって私たちの生活はだんだんスマート化・自動化が進んでいます。
それらに判断をゆだねてしまうことを恐れている人もいれば、
その便利さから「早く全てが繋がってくれればいいのに」と待ち望んでいる人も少なくないでしょう。
しかし全てがそうパーフェクトな未来になるのでしょうか？実際はそうではありません。
上海をベースに、デザインファームfrogで働くSimoneはそれらの未来について注目し、
スマートな製品との私たちの生活における意味の探求と実験をしています。
今回のイベントでは彼が今までに行ってきた実験についてをご紹介します。
将来私たちが共に生活をすることになるであろう新しい”スマート化”、ロボット、自動化などの未来のデザインについて、
私たちが抱いているイメージを前提に、オープンなディスカッションで一緒に考えてみませんか？

biography
Simone RebaudengoSimone is an interaction designer based in Shanghai working and speculating about futures at automato.farm and frog. He builds products and scenarios that are believable enough to be real, but that come from hypothetical and questionable futures. His research focuses on exploring the implications of living with networked and somewhat smart products that change, grow, and that are smart enough to take their own decisions and show a point of view. He’s been teaching and talking at CIID, SUPSI, China Academy of Fine Arts, Tedx, SolidCon, Thingscon and Dconstruct. His works have been published and awarded internationally by Core77, Wired, Fastcompany, The Atlantic and Designboom […]
