While technology becomes our mirror, environment, and almost key factor in the relationship between people, the question I ask is whether we can extrapolate from the promise of technology the mechanisms that remind us of our human limitations. This project aims to show how mechanisms of magical thinking are strongly tied to the same paradigm of technology that based its development on annihilating any affiliations to these mechanisms. Through manipulating GPS navigation devices, the project will illustrate how these questions relate to our belief systems, everyday uses and conceptions of technology. I want to focus on the ideas of and approaches to interfaces, how are they designed and conceptualized, creating a tool that doesnʼt necessarily have to be functional, but will underlie the physicality and hierarchies of abstraction that unveil the subtle distribution of power.
