designers as production labor?

design for the future

design as blend of theory and praxis
![Page 14: Intervention Design at MAMDT workshop 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54822f35b4af9f690d8b46ee/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
so what are you going to do?
‚Redesigning a situation by using theory and praxis and with use of current (old) methods of design and new ideas, comparing them both and design an intervention
to fill the gap.’
![Page 15: Intervention Design at MAMDT workshop 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54822f35b4af9f690d8b46ee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
you are using the Intervention Design Process Model (IDPM)
• Select and analyse an area of interest. • Apply theory (for example the four laws of
media) and describe the clash between the old and new paradigms.
• Identify the problem in terms of environment, media and target group.
• Investigate how the problem would be solved using normal/current design.
• Investigate how the problem would be solved using new ideas and insights.
• Compare both and design an intervention. • Test and evaluate the intervention design.

We invent a new media
technology
The new media technology
alters our sense ratios
The altered sense ratio alters our perception
The altered perception
changes the way we think
With a new way of thinking we
create new models of reality
New models of reality give rise to
new inventions

media structure a culture for our
growing need for self-conscience
rationality and objectivity of the system increases
our subjective selves get more alienated and
need self-conscience
culture creates a false reality
that feels like a hot bath
we become objects submitted to the one-dimensional
structures, thinking we are
subjects by consuming eros
(repressive tolerance)
(repressive desublimation)

54assignment for today
![Page 55: Intervention Design at MAMDT workshop 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54822f35b4af9f690d8b46ee/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
assignment: manifest for a new world (in teams of five)
End of 2014 there is an outbreak of a virus that turns people into zombies. A year later millions of people are infected. Institutions like governments, banks, multinationals and other business have disappeared. There are no public services anymore. With the infected being controlled slowly safe heavens are being established. Authority and all kinds of systems and structures have been vanished.
!It is your task to build a new society, based on the ideas you find
important. Because there is nothing left, you are free of any burden from existing systems and ideas. Feel free to rethink stuff we take for granted currently, thus rethink everything.
!Goal: make a manifest for your new world (not how you are going
to handle things but you think is important). Visualize every step you take and present them at the end. Back at 2pm.
