EXPLORATION: Sensing the Future: Embodied and Dance Explorations of Seeing and Being Seen Through Public Digital Twins
When does care become control? Who remains invisible to technological systems? These questions sit at the core of this workshop, which uses experiential and embodied methods to ask how design research can engage emerging public service technologies. Digital Twins (real-time digital counterparts of people, objects, and places) are spreading through public services on the promise of better coordination, prediction, and efficiency (Lyu, 2024). However, they also determine how people are sensed, represented, and acted upon, raising questions about surveillance, autonomy, and care that technical or policy analysis alone cannot address (Vesnic-Alujevic et al., 2019). Our approach draws on Speculative Design, in particular Experiential Futures, which lets people encounter possible technological futures through action and perception rather than explanation (Candy, 2010; Candy & Dunagan, 2017). This 90-minute workshop treats lived experience as a source of knowledge for design research. It unfolds in the initial warming-up activity and embodied experimentation. | ||
