11.11. Mid Term Review Team 1

Where we started

• Data storage & Digital Legacy
• collected a lot of ideas
• why we think this topic is important to talk about

(counter-) cultures

Struggle:

• we want to prototype, but what?
• how do we the object into future? (not just present movements) (speculate)
• our ideas all over the place

Creating an exhibition as a framework for us to work in

at the beginning we restricted to much: exhibition = pieces behind glass
-> for now we leave it open what a exhibition will be in a 100
– while still using the ruff structure for story telling

3 level:

• 1: our main characters. living in the next 100 years
  their stories of resistance are told through personal objects left behind.
  Our main story telling device
• 2: The curator: someone taking / finding those objects and putting them on display. Adding context or info through their perspective. (can be misleading on purpose)
  Our way to frame the story.
• 3: The observer. This fictive exhibition is made for fictive people in a 100 years, but will be seen by people from right now, with average knowledge of right now.
  -> they will maybe know stuff about the objects, people in a 100 years will not know about any more.
  -> other things presented as common knowledge will be open for interpretation.

Collecting ideas

our mind maps
-> the tools we used to collect our thoughts (Dator’s 4 futures, guest lectures input, EXF Cycle, timeline map)

3 Topics / Prototypes

• music -> streaming collapses ->person creates physical media player
  Worldbuilding: Counter to Streaming:
  ->People create personalized media player environment
  ->it can record and physically share Audio with other such devices (not upload/down load audio through internet)
  
• personal archiving -> inter-generational passage of family media on physical carriers (accessories x electronics)
• using internet -> scenario: no personal ram/cpu -> phone server
  
  overarching theme: serendipity of discovering one´s personal digital trace (digital or analogue)
  
• All of above are “passive counter cultures” (not following mainstream)
• maybe combining personal archiving & using internet
  + making the third an active one:
• -> destroying data centers / trapping ai…
  
  

next steps

• going unobomber
