Of Things

Of Things is a design experiment which relates to smart products, technology and interactive design today, in the light of ideas like Object Oriented Ontology and Animism. The project aims to look at the world through the point of view of things; to question what might count as an object and what counts as the subject; what happens when the power shifts from one side to the other; to explore how decisions are made in a human-nonhuman interaction, and who is in fact in charge.
As a distinct contrast to the endless stream of contemporary consumer-oriented projects trying to define productive, one-step-ahead smart objects, Of Things is built as an ecosystem of objects that would appear to have an id or ego, follow their own motivation, make their own investigations and challenge functions and behaviors in order to reflect, critique and play with the world of Internet of Things.
Created as MA project at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin, 2018
