The first word I learned to say is guaita. My paternal grandmother would take me for a walk in the trolley, and as we wandered around she would point at things with her finger and say: “Guaita Laia, guaita!”. She spoke a particular Catalan, she would say guaita instead of mira (look at). Guaitar means to watch carefully, analysing what is observed. Vigilant. Jo guaito 👀️

THANK YOU: ŹITO ŤSENG

In this workshop by Dunne & Raby we used design to explore some of the alternative realities described by physicist Alan Lightman in his book 'Einstein's Dreams'.

In these worlds time does not behave as it does in our world. Working with the materials at hand we had to communicate and materialise ideas for new devices, social interactions, objects, rituals, words, and systems for these alternative realities in order to explore and question our own world(s).

If reality is made not given, can it be unmade, and remade?

Transhumanism focuses in everything human. What if plants have also their own desire to live beyond longer and better?
