Humans Being Human Beings: An Exploration in Decompressing Design

Skylar A Jessen

How can we remove some of the compression digital tools place on our perception of self and the world around us?

Description

Each day we use digital tools as an extension of our inner self, but much like the nuances lost with compressing a song into an MP3, these digital tools compress the humanness of our movements and interactions. This project explores three examples of product designs that look into lifting that compression.
