Final Project

My ongoing project or my project proposel has three options. First one is my uncompleted “the bastard” project. With this project i would like to add new features and new meanings to the ball .Personal protestor is a ball that can move around and play a recorded sound at the same time. To be an activist is very easy from now on. Record a protest with a single record button and personal protestor can do the activism for you. To use the ball the owner has to record a protest and put it on a flat surface so it can move around and play the protest at the same time... (preview the project)


  • urban individual activism
  • asocial activism
  • hacking in to personal space


The second option is my first thematic project. The project was focusing on hacking the environments in the city and creating dead spaces in the newtwork. With this project I build up a big mockup to turn on and off the street lights in the city... (preview the project)


  • hacking environment
  • creating dead links
  • hacking and personal protection
  • creating outdoor culture
  • city life
  • legal breathing space


For the third option i wrote down some words with my tutor Aymeric Mansoux to choose an interest to focus on. Then we tried to join the words and build up a list to choose a subject. The third option for my project is focusing on climate changes and renewable energy resources. I choose this subject not because it is a popular subject. Because climate change is a real science fiction experience for everybody. Climate change is like an on going Orson Welles “War of the Worlds” radio show for people. People are reading, watching, browsing news about climate change and affects appearing all over the world. Climate change creates an absurd alien attack on the people. People are getting in to a short term panic, they are starting create lots of scenarios about how they are going to die and how they can survive.


The list of interests within this subject


  • connection between network culture and climate change
  • renewable energy resources
  • panic reactors
  • survival plans
  • corrupt news
  • consuming the normal
  • alien attack
  • mutation of lifestyle
  • real science fiction
  • controlling fear
  • radio theater


After i write down all my interests can see that my motivation very high with the second option. I would like to go on working on my propposal with hacking the city
