Project Alias
Bjørn Karmann (DK), Tore Knudsen (DK)
Our relationship with technology is formed by how we interact with it. However, commercial smart products for the home tend to treat the user as passive consumers. Especially smart home assistance has shown design patterns that limit the possibilities of interaction and agency from the user perspective, even in the most private and personal sphere—the home. Our interaction patterns are highly determined by the designers of these products, and with Alias, we are interested in how this power relation can be redefined, especially when it comes to privacy. The exciting future that “smart” technologies can give us often comes with conditions that diminish our privacy and the feeling of being in control. With Alias we want to challenge this condition and ask what kind of “smart” we actually want in the future.
Proelium
Hakan Lidbo (SE)
*Proelium* is a board game with a space-folding board, developed for people with enhanced ability to see patterns.
Alterplex
Hakan Lidbo (SE)
Alterplex is a strategic board game where the board is invisible, except seen through the pieces. The moving properties of the pieces are decided by the animations of the board, constantly changing, following a hidden pattern. The game is synchronized with a musical structure that guides the players with timing and strategy. As the players have to predict many possible futures, the game becomes a training tool for non-linear thinking.
30°
Mathias Foot (DE), Franziska Rast (DE), Stephan Schakulat (DE)
Covering 71% of the Earth’s surface, water is an important part of the global ecosystem. Every development and change in the sea also affect life on earth. Datasets help us to understand conditions and ecological processes such as changes in salinity or temperature. 30° is a data visualization of marine data in the form of an installation.
3D Chess
Hakan Lidbo (SE)
We humans think, dream and imagine in 2D, but with this game we can practice using our zero gravity minds. 3D Chess is seemingly simple but not easy to master.
