Enquadramento
As we have entered the age of immateriality within a dichotomy between constant connection and disconnection from reality (either from others, either from ourselves), things have given their place to the non-things (Han, 2022). The non-things are the digital worlds that we
have embraced in our daily existence, constant presences in our tasks and responsibilities, dictators of social importance, and providers of a constant access to information that have disembodied our being-in-world into a nonbeing (Han, 2022). How can we recover the being in ourselves with others?
Embracing collaborative activities through technological media brings the exploration of how mutual awareness can lead sequential behaviours, deriving not only from individual intentions, but from a shared intentionality (Tenenberg, Roth, and Socha, 2016) that is born from collaboration itself, and might lead to innovative creations.
Objetivo
The purpose of this project is to explore collaborative sequences and playful interactions that can emerge through FeedNPlay. With camera detection movement, a stereo sound equipment (that could also communicate with the 5-channel surround channel of Soundscape4DEI, another of the First Foundation initiatives) and the possibility of a physical carpet placed in front of the secret, inspired by YomeciBand ([url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG4onoKzQCw]www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG4onoKzQCw[/url]), which would provide an extra layer of playful exploration that would stimulate creative behaviours, where the participants would become creators themselves. Being experimental in nature, the objective is to create a series of prototypes both in desktop versions and more elaborate versions that take advantage of the technology mentioned above.
