Expressive Companion
Adaptive technology evolves beyond being a mere instrumental tool to become a Protagonist within the context of our intentions, emotions and relations.
We engage with always-on, adaptive technology as beginning of sets of possibilities, beyond the closed, task loops.
As our relationship with technology expands the most important dimension that really grows is the diversity of human experiences: ways of feeling, modes of expression, expanding our field of meaning.
The primary mode of vibrant human existence consists not in exerting control over things but in resonating with them, making them respond to us and responding to them in turn.
AI technology act as Expressive Companion that learns to resonate with our intentions, values, emotions and interactions, inviting moments of unexpected harmonies and expanding the ways people and technology co-participate in shared experiences.
We live in expressive conversation with the world around us.
Human experience is more than flow of tasks to be efficiently completed, it includes affective and expressive dialogue with the social, material and technological context and this aspects needs to be part of the design process.
Experience Design needs to seek fresh ways to translate and reveal the why in the interplay with what and how of design situation.
Companion doesn’t just facilitate the task, but co-participate and supports our emotional and ethical response to the possibilities of the situation.
We are architecting techno-social situations where people and technology together unlock the experiential potential of everyday moments, ... and each other.
Our design applies techno-social situation as an emergent and transformative experience design framework, serving as a catalyst for designing a more resonant and meaningful relation to the world.
Resonance is kind of balance and harmony with which you positively relate to the world amid the anxiety or flat monotony of daily automatism you may find around you.
