Manufacturing Habits
How we interact with technology is determined by its design. Consider the design of the smartphone. Its products and services come in form of applications. We interact with the device through predefined motions on its sleek delicious surface. These gestures are performed with ease, and the applications are easy on the mind to use. What is the intention that guides the design and dissemination of the smartphone? The incentive is simple: tech companies profit off of users attention. The more time spent scrolling and tapping the more ad revenue is accrued.
One robot creature, one touchscreen device, and one interface, are used to reveal how manipulation works on the user through interface design, and to question dominant designs of technology.
