week 8. near future design

http://www.artisopensource.net/2013/10/28/near-future-design-the-perception-of-a-new-possible-and-a-new-role-for-design/

"This is what we have defined as Near Future Design.

A performative dimension in which the observation of the state of the arts and technologies meets anthropological and ethnographical observation."

The Design Fictions
- Simulacra
- Transmedia Narratives "
- the output of the Design Fiction phase, thus, is constituted by a set of Transmedia Narratives implementing the simulacrum for the story;
- the Transmedia Narrative is a multi-modal storytelling technique which is able to move and combine the effects of multiple media, from physical objects, to websites, urban interventions and more."

http://www.artisopensource.net/2013/05/26/transmedia-narratives-simulacra-simulation-fake-and-design-fiction/

"If, as suggested by Baudrillard, we were to simulate as closely as possible a fake holdup, we just would not be able to do it, because the people and, in general, the “machine”, the process through which people constantly interpret the reality they have around them, would not be able to distinguish the signals of what is real and fake/simulated."

Transmedia Narratives

a transmedia story represents the integration of entertainment experiences across a range of different media platforms

Henry Jenkins, 2007

對比__人造XX

在現代社會裡，充斥著不真實的實體

人造林，砍掉原有的樹，卻見造假林

人造動物，想要觸碰卻又害怕真實

人造樹，面對大自然給的能源，我們更相信自己建造的能源

week 6. 來自後攻殼動隊時代的一封信

親愛的隊員, 靈魂安:
這裡發生了一些重大事件, 我以第公安九課督察的身分, 必須立刻與你們取得聯繫, 雖然你們現在被母體 (matrix) 轉換到遙遠而科技才剛啓蒙 2013 年, 給與了新的身分, 我憂心你們會被我們這邊剛剛發展出來的記憶與神經格式化與重新植入的技術干擾, 遺忘了真正的任務, 我在唯一未被母體統治的九龍城寨電腦叛客 (cyberpunk, 希望你們已經知道這種身分)中找到一位從愛爾蘭退役的爵士梁上校, 他已經成功的轉換成你們所處年代的一位大學教授, 在這封信到達你們手中的同時, 上校會為你們說明任務的細節.
記憶與神經格式化技術目前存在倫理上的爭議, 官方尚未通過合法的專利, 但是黑市已經非常猖獗, 上個月發生了公安九課的刑警巴特在雜貨店被電子腦入侵, 以及幾天前巴特的組員在執行任務的過程中被"記憶認知無窮迴圈"技術干擾, (這部份請上校為你們簡報), 目前這個技術快速的衍生出上萬個網路山寨版本, 嚴重的威脅到母體的秩序, 我們已經觀察到幾項危機:
1. 台北2000-2020年間的資料被非法的軟體惡意格式化, 呈現一片空白狀態, 平行母體的備份映像被以非對稱的方式破壞, 這意味著, 在下一週期的宇宙時空更新程式執行之後,台北將完全從母體中消失, 我現在出任務所在的台北, 與各位所處的 2013台北, 預計將會在2個月後消失. 我們必須加緊腳步避免此事.
2. 人機互動設計研究在我們這個年代雖然只是一項考古學研究, 但是無疑的, 這個領域是目前進出母體最重要的先前研究, 黑暗勢力一直試圖從根鏟除這項研究, 我們觀察到, 母體中的檔案記載正在消失當中, 因此, 停止這項破壞計畫才能確保人類的重要知識遺產能夠延續到我的年代, 被鎖定的包括, Bill Gaver 的 Cultural Probe 研究法 (Wallace 的 design probes), 以及 Annotated Portfolios 方法論, Dunne & Raby 的 critical design, Gaver 的 ambiquity design, 及 Ludic Design, Redstrom 的 slow technology, Su & Liang 的 evocative object...

我們急需各位立刻展開行動, 憶起你們的真正身份, 無巧不成書的是, 你們身邊其他同學同時潛在著反對勢力的時空轉世, 他們將扮演阻止未來走向我這個時代的角色, 你們必須與之共同批判對話 (critical dialogue). 真正的行動方針是什麼, 我全權交給爵士梁上校與你們討論後付諸行動. 希望能夠達成以下任務:
1. 挽回人機互動設計研究的成果, 立刻學會此類方法與知識, 銘刻在你的記憶中, 記住, 只有你們全體做到, 母體就會永遠保留住這些知識.
2. 為了加深真正的理解, 你們必須立刻提出如何使用這些方法的實務操作演練.
3. 儘快開始紀錄與研究台北的過去與未來, 母體會永遠感謝你們.
4. 發揮你們的創意, 在 2 個月後 (也就是母體安排學期末腳本), 實際呈現關於台北未來的小說敘事, 情境插畫, 互動設計物, 概念影片. 我們已經儘快安排在台北消失前, 安排公安九課的成員透過母體的時空轉換到達 "期末展覽" 現場取回台北必要的資料.

靈魂永安.

the poetics of design fiction

Ghost in the shell (I) 片段欣賞搜捕罪犯 + 格鬥
(II) 雜貨店

(2) 將這段經驗的時代移植到科幻劇情中 (以攻殼 I, II 的片段為例), 重新書寫
Step 2: Developing Basic Rules of Fiction
發展 6 個 what if
Step 3: Experimental process of world-making
Step 4: Prototyping design fiction
