we are part of an ecosystem so we have to integrate it into our processes & explorations

relate past, present and future in collaborative, generative, and performative manners - embodying your ideas

emergent bottom up approaches

designing in the body

means you are becoming ONE with the wearable
- identity
- actions
- constantly changing meaning

embodied ideation techniques
- bodily sensations
- using our bodies to find out something new

mindfulness & somaeasthetics

entails an interdisciplinary field of inquiry aimed at promoting and integrating the theoretical, empirical and practical disciplines related to the bodily perception, performance and presentation

knowing, crafting, augmenting and socio-political bodies are integrated in 1PP design interventions
- involving yourself personally

FIRST PERSON PERSPECTIVE RESEARCH (1PP)
1st person perspective design interventions

GOAL
gain knowledge that can help you o develop your exploration further

how do we document that knowledge?

annotated portfolios
other forms of intermediate-level knowledge

an image with comments, critical reflections on the thoughts,

you can add and add and add
images are overlaying each other/ comments are overlaying each other

how can we position ourself again and again, anew and anew according to the progressing context/ situations? 

mapping my new augmented context

it's important to understand what's surround you!

my domestic experimental laboratory

what do I have?

what is interesting?

what is missing?

bodies of knowledge in 1PP:

• knowing bodies

• crafting bodies

• augmenting bodies

• socio-political bodies

it is a way of acting

it is a way of looking

it is a way of being involved

working with materials at hand

putting yourself at risk

committing to 1PP in practice

bodies as context

being with the material flow

community intra-relations

socio-technical and environmental infrastructure

generative and performative

can be for example:

• The first day of my new life
• A personal challenge
• Change yourself
• Collaborate (with things)
• Extreme reflection
• Augmentation of personal activities
• Learning something new
• Your future you

living with
your own ideas -
a design intervention

an autoethnographic design intervention

Immersing yourself personally into a problem- or design-space so that you can generate experiential

understandings of it in order to move your thoughts forward. A way to externalise your ideas.

• What did you make and why did it matter?

• What happens when you involve yourself?

• What happens when you use yourself as an instrument?

• Did anything changed about your way of working?

• What does it mean for you future work?

externalizing my ideas by evolving yourself personally into speculation by exploring "alternative presents"

making WITH & living WITH

@ kristina andersen

we are co-actors in our everyday lives

can we have something different? in opposition, in abstraction? 

opposing to the trial to constantly find unity

we have to allow each other to be different

so a designer someone who negotiates interventions

how can we collaborate with out surroundings? and this on various scales, not only as individuals, but how would this look like in a political system?
