:Blackbox: A Design Fiction research project

Critical Design and Design Fiction are both future-oriented activities, whose aim is not just to create products but even more ideas, to imagine possible futures. Design Fiction, in particular, is about building a near future world and exploring the possibilities and consequences of today’s emerging technological research as catalyst for a change. One of the most worrying effect of technology advance is about privacy: individuals, often unintentionally, sacrifice their privacy to provide information about themselves. And the privacy issue will be concern even our body. “Blackbox” is a real narrative device from a near future world. It has the ability to trigger processes of processing, interpretation, understanding and recollection of experiences, events, facts. It keeps safe the same way the memories and the most secret memory. Digging this dystopic scenario we can trace the path of alternative worlds, raising awareness on our future(s).
