Alternative Vision of Living with IoT

My research examines the values, norms, and practices of subcultures formed as an "alternative" to the dominant way of life. In particular, I explore how technology relates to alternative forms of interaction or can be understood and reconstructed through alternative concepts or frameworks. For the past three years, I have conducted fieldwork with communities pursuing alternative lifestyles. This work considers how those alternative lifestyles may contribute to an understanding of objects and spaces in a home. Through my fieldwork and research through design (RtD), I hope to offer an alternative vision to living with IoT while imagining future domesticity in a unique and possibly groundbreaking way.
