Resource Extractor

IN BRIEF

Theses :

“Intelligent Devices increase the gap between rich and poor, powerful and weak”

This concept is representing how intelligent devices can extract resources from poor and give it to rich and powerful.

The above sketch shows two sides of coin one were poor are getting poorer and more dependent on the rich and the other side where rich and powerful are getting more rich and powerful,

DESCRIPTION

This installation will be based on the same idea of the picture shown.

We will have a pot that will have two points with taps attached. One can only be accessed by poor people and one can be used by rich and powerful.

Obviously the resources will flow the same way water flows, i.e. from top to bottom.

We will use water in that pot and that will represent resources like oil and gas, electricity and water etc.

Context of use

We will use it close to Aqua coolers and water fountains where users can interact with it.

They can choose to act as poor or rich to use certain tap to take out drinking water.

We will put signs up to attract more users and hopefully in the process we can evoke their reflection of our theses.

Balance Shifter

IN BRIEF

Theses :

“Intelligent Devices increase the gap between rich and poor, powerful and weak”

This concept is representing how intelligent devices can shift the balance of resources. It can make rich, richer and poor, poorer.

The above sketch shows how people with intelligent devices actually control the poor and how poor are always dependent on rich. This also shows how they can help rich get richer and more powerful.

This shows the present balance of the society that 1% of the rich control 99% of the poor in the world.

DESCRIPTION

This installation will be based on the same idea of the picture shown.

We will use a scale with some sort of smart or intelligent device in one side of the scale and poor of the world in the other.

This also shows the flow of the resources which will flow from top to bottom.

Context of use

We will use this in public places like parks and bus stops and etc.

We will put signs up to attract more users and hopefully in the process we can evoke their reflection of our theses.

Powerful technologies

IN BRIEF

Theses :

“Intelligent Devices increase the gap between rich and poor, powerful and weak”

This concept is representing how intelligent devices are becoming more powerful and can increase the gap between the rich and the poor.

The above sketch shows how weak are becoming insignificant and are looked down upon if they don’t have these intelligent devices. For example if you don’t have Facebook account than you are not cool etc.

This also shows how People with intelligent devices actually control the poor and how poor are always dependent on rich. This also shows how powerful technologies can make you rich and powerful.

DESCRIPTION

This installation will be based on the same idea of the picture shown.

We will use winning stands like blocks and make a tall one with some sort of representation of powerful devices. Than leave a gap and have few smaller blocks after some space.

Context of use

We will use this in public places like parks and bus stops and etc.

We will put signs up to attract more users and hopefully in the process we can evoke their reflection of our theses.

Skill testing Vending Machine

IN BRIEF

Theses :

“"Our modern built environment deskills its inhabitants". 
”

This concept is representing how modern built devices are making people lazy, dependent on them and losing their basic skills.

This concept focuses on calculation skills but also evoke people’s reflection on how people are becoming more and lazy and dependent on these modern built environments. For this pictures of Homer Simpsons are used with some others.

DESCRIPTION

This Installation will look like a drinks vending machine and give away free drinks if user answers 20 simple calculation questions in 60 sec.

He is allowed to make only one error and will have three chances at a free cold drink.

It will be voice activated that mean one member of the team has to be in inside and he will use an Iphone camera looking at the user from the inside. Once a member of the team sees a user coming to the machine he greets them and tells them the rules of the game and gives them the game in Ipad to play.

After they successfully answer all the questions they will win themselves a free drink.

Context of use

We will use this in public places like Shopping centres and bus stops, where there are vending machines.

USER INTERVIEW:

INTERVIEW:

Welcome to our design thinking project!

Our group is a university student group called miracle design.

Our project is to build an installation to evoke people’s reflection to one of our theses.

The theses that we chose is :

"Our modern built environment deskills its inhabitants"

Let’s ask our users if they could tell us about their experience and if this installation evoked anything in them?

LOOP>

Hi there!

What’s your name?

G’day (name)!

What can you tell us about your experience playing this game?

Did you enjoy this voice activated vending machine which tests your calculation skill?

Did you win any free drinks?

[NO] Do you think we are too much dependent on our modern devices?

Was there a point where you just wanted to us your mobile phone to do the calculations?

Do you think modern build environment is making people lazy?

Thanks for taking part in our video.
