Joy on the wheels

Qianlun Li (CN)

This project engages with ‘Outsiders,’ an online meeting and dating platform for physically disabled people. For a long time, the sexuality of people with a disability has been often ignored. This project aims to encourage sexual expression in this community and healthy relationships through helping them explore their and their partners’ body.

Yuan原

Mich Tsai (TW)

This interactive project offers audiences the opportunity to reflect on themselves, through reproducing traditional Formosan music via a perspective on the triangular relationship between machine, human and nature. Yuan not only represents Formosan musical culture, it also demonstrates the notion of ‘LOSS’ and the risk of cultural histories disappearing.

Breath With Me

Marta Roncero (ES)

Inspired by ancient beliefs, my project proposes the idea of re-connecting to nature using our human energy. Breathe With Me allows us to connect with our plants through a meditation based in Hindu notion of Kundalini energy.

Jerry

Joanne Leung (HK)

A little mouse lives under your nose all the time. Its name is Jerry. He works and he plays. He loves and he hates. The computer mouse is entering his mid-life crisis as the floppy disc did. He evolves and turns his mid-life crisis into ours. This interactive mouse allows audiences to review their sense of control and superiority over other objects through spiritualizing a seemingly unspiritual machine. A story starts from an it and ends with a he.

Social Shoes

Jie Liao (CN)

Running has become a new opportunity for communication in people’s leisure time. These social shoes can enhance this connection. When people haven't been running for a long time, the shoes urge them to move. When people put them on, the shoes will start looking for another pair of shoes to encourage people to run together.

Renata Schmidtkunz (DE)

The topic is dedicated to the role of science and research.

Imagination box

Ke Wang (CN)

This is a web-based collaborative writing group whose stories emerge from the same worldview. The pursuit of imagination is the firm ethic of the SCP, who fear that fiction will lose imagination. My work has designed 5 different types of cards according to the characteristics of the SCP, which players can use to generate different story elements for their work.

Artificially intelligent garden tool

Jiayin Lao (CN)

This garden tool is a tool designed for the Green Gym, a community space where volunteers garden together weekly. They welcome people who have no basic knowledge about gardening, so the members have to share knowledge during the activities. However, since the members are voluntary, once the members leave the community, they take away their specific knowledge with them.

To Be Or Not To Be

Hui Shan (CN)

This project explores our relationship with daily-use AI consumer electronic products. It challenges the design techniques used to make AI products more ‘reliable’ and ‘comfortable’ from the consumer’s point of view. Three AI products have been re-aestheticised from an unheimlich (uncanny) perspective. By making the audience experiment with the ‘Anti-Alexa Experience,’ this project aims to promote socio-technical knowledge and introduce critical thinking towards daily AI products and services.
