Description
We live in a time where everyone is a few taps away. A myriad of mobile apps constantly proposes fresh new ways of connecting us with others. Ironically, when looking at current studies, data shows that we are one of the loneliest generations ever. So how come the promise of an always-connected and immediately-reachable world makes us feel so dissatisfied, facile, and alone?
Over the course of 12 weeks, a product and different social dynamics were designed and tested to empower my family and friends by digitally connecting us in a more personal way. HomeLog is a device for the home that you cannot take with you everywhere you go and that does not interrupt you. It’s a new way of digital communication; it doesn’t rely on a smartphone and is designed to bring us closer to ourselves and our loved ones in a more passive and less-immediate way.
