StudienarbeitMaster of Arts in Design ; Vertiefung Interaction Design
DescriptionThis project is a work of speculative design investigating the possibility of digital life. Drawing on scientific debates about the essence of life, it describes the distinct properties of living organic processes. These are then applied to digital processes, asking whether digital life could exist, and how it would appear. Alongside this theoretical work are example programs demonstrating some lifelike properties, presented in an installation based on the speculative concept of a natural history museum of the future. The installation invites viewers to probe the complexity of existing digital systems and to interrogate the nature of life itself. Perhaps some digital life is already growing, like microbes, inside our opaque digital ecosystem.Object numberBBI-2017-C21-001
