Videos of Things: speculating on, anticipating and synthesizing technological mediations
summary
Designers build working artifacts — a moving coffee‑table–sized table nontable (paper stack on aluminum chassis) and a ceramic tilting bowl that tips 3–4 times a day — then make three short videos to test how those objects reshape routines. Videos use casting the same actor in two roles, a day‑long shot titled “August 8 2016,” and attention to mundane cues to humanness, patterns in time, non‑human ensembles to speculate, synthesize interview observations, and anticipate mediated relations.
