Synapsense, 2017

Role: Interaction Designer, Service Designer, Graphic Designer

During the 2016 Ars Electronica Future Innovator’s Summit a series of questions were produced regarding key issues surrounding the future of humanity and technology.

Our team was given the question,
“What is the sense of being human in the future?” This question placed a heavy emphasis on the role technology could play between interpersonal relationships, and if there was a way it could strengthen bonds, communicate and personal touch between people instead of further isolating and fragmenting them. 

 Through the use of conductive floor pads and pressure sensitive ropes our team created a sonic playground that emulates
a circuitboard and challenges what role the human senses will play in collaboration with technology.

Alongside the interactive space, a choreographed dance highlights the main theme of the installation and its capabilities.
