This Topic Studio will explore hybrid objects and interactions as “tools” specific to both user and environmental needs. We will focus on a deep read of object and social rituals, habits, interconnections, behaviors, and interactions. The territory of investigation will draw from human-scaled, civic objects that multiple (hundreds of) people engage with on a daily basis that exist in the public domain. We will identify key actors in the territory to reveal un-acknowledged relationships and contributions. The studio will be structured to allow independent project focus through a series of explorations and ultimately the design of a series of Hybrid Objects and Interactions.
