Disordered Immune Response
The Disordered Immune Response is a medical term that I use as a metaphor for censorship, where the body’s defense mechanism becomes instable, sometimes overreacting to harmless substances while failing to respond to actual threats.
My research question is: How can interactive design in the domain of critical design allow audiences to experience and reflect on censorship mechanisms?
To answer this, I have two key experiments: interactive posters simulating different censorship mecha nisms, prompting audiences to reflect on their effects; and a website and installation that places audiences in a speculative future where they gain the power to cen sor. This challenges them to confront personal responsibility and the contradictions of being both censored and censor.
By creating participatory experiences, I combine speculative storytelling with technology, using installations, projection mapping, and dynamic text processing to materialize censorship.
