Design Fiction Filmmaking as REDO

Object is a speculative design fiction film exploring novel ways of sensing and interacting with our environment through technology. The protagonist’s enhanced environmental interactions, enabled by the object, illustrate the tactile potential of interacting with technological objects, through touching, tuning and turning. We investigate performativity as a means to reimagine more meaningful environmental interaction through novel technologies; and also question our relationship with technological objects the their roles in mediating and co-shaping our relationship with the world. In submitting this film to REDO, we explore the question of how to REDO in the context of designing digital artifacts and propose design fiction filmmaking as a means of REDOing.
