My goal of this project was to explore the philosophy behind the ‘minor key’ and its relation to design through Design Philosophy Correspondence, with a focus on including the more-than-human.
Throughout this project, I gained understanding of the minor key, both theoretically through diving into the work of Tim Ingold, and practically through designing concepts and prototypes. I learned to embrace uncertainty and use continuous reflection as tools for exploration in the design process, while cooperating with a philosopher. Through concepting and prototyping, I developed competencies in ecological psychology, minor key thinking, and more-than-human design.
This project reshaped my vision of more-than-human design as a mediation tool for learning and reflection. This inspired me to work more towards connecting humans and more-than-humans through technology.
