Cyberspace. Desautomatización. La desautomatización es, en teoría literaria, poética y lingüística, un concepto creado por las teorías del formalismo ruso, en concreto de Víktor Shklovski, y se define como un proceso por el cual el espíritu creador del individuo irrumpe en el lenguaje rebelándose contra su carácter colectivo y socializado, rompiendo la relación estatuida y convencionalizada del lenguaje.

Desautomatización

Puede ser, por ejemplo, una inversión: en vez de decir "cabizbajo y meditabundo", decir "cabizbundo y meditabajo", o decir en vez de "de vez en cuando" "de cuando en vez"; también puede ser la ruptura o complicación de una frase hecha, etc. En suma, un juego creativo con el lenguaje que posibilita su enriquecimiento y su consideración artística.

The irresponsible agglomeration of senseless material The Honda Integra is an extraordinary example of the problematics that evolve when we started to separate engineering and design processes.

why the car?! — The Architecture of Mobility

The Integra is, as of now 5 other motorcycles at Honda, built upon a 700/750cc platform with tubular frame. This platform is then equipped and set up with different seating and storage solutions, covers, wheels, etc. to be able to compete with bikes in the naked, the adventure, cruiser or maxi scooter market. Now the Integra is supposed to be the latter - a large, well-motorized scooter that rivals medium bikes in driving performance, but excels in seating comfort - while sacrificing storage and maneuverability, despite its visual scooter roots. Being aimed at the hybrid marketsegment of maxi scooters, the inherent compromise of this product becomes visible in its design - or rather Styling - between the scooter and the motorbike.

NNN / Six gadgets to make your long distance relationship last

But for long-distance couples (as many of us can relate now), separation can be unbearable at times. Here are six gadgets that may make your long distance relationship last. For the gentle grip: Frebble Did you miss out on your first date holding hands together, then Frebble will help you out. When you squeeze your Frebble, the corresponding Frebble in your loved one’s hand will gently apply pressure to the back of their hand, simulating what they would feel if you were holding hands right next to each other. For the passionate peck: Kissenger Such a date might end with a kiss. For the rhythmic romance: Bond Touch. Untitled. El 13 de marzo de 2010 en Austin (EE.

UU.), un pequeño grupo de diseñadores se subió al escenario del festival interactivo South by Southwest para hablar sobre una disciplina emergente a la que denominaban "diseño-ficción". El novelista de ciencia ficción que promovió el movimiento cyberpunk en la década de 1980 Bruce Sterling no iba a formar parte del programa. Sin embargo, el escritor recuerda: "Me pidieron que me uniera al panel en el último minuto. Sabían que llevaba mucho tiempo involucrado en el South by Southwest y eso les daba algo de confianza". Sterling había acuñado el término diseño-ficción en su libro de 2005, pero no se había apoderado de ese concepto aún difuso. Untitled. Intrigued with the method, last week I ran an experiment with my 1st attempt at facilitating a speculative design workshop.

Struggling to find practical resources online during prep, I decided to share my workshop agenda & reflections here for all those looking to run an experiment themselves. Speculative design is a practice to spark thoughts and discussion about the social, cultural, and ethical implications of emerging technologies. It’s about developing potential future scenarios, anticipating consequences, expressing interesting tensions in tangible artefacts, and ultimately guide us in designing preferable futures. A pretty new field, similar practices go under the names of critical design and design fiction (while its originators try to hash out the differences, if any) and the methods are as ambiguous as the terms. Regardless, the results stand their ground.
