Problem or chance?

Technology is moving ever closer to our bodies. What happens if we use it to manipulate or optimise our body?
How does it look like when this technology is mainly used in the working world?
What influence does this new technology have on the working relationship between employee and employer and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Project context.

Distopic scenario!

Critical design

Critical design takes a critical theory based approach to design. This kind of design uses design fiction and speculative design proposals to challenge assumptions, conceptions about the role of objects play in everyday life. The goal was to learn about scenario building and other tools. The task was to create a future scenario in which you speculate or are critical of a topic of your choosing, preferably linking to the present.

Ficticuos company

To best convey the core ideas of our scenario, we created a fictitious company called ÆMP. This company should reflect all fears and show the critical sides of our scenario. The following artifacts we have designed to bring this company to life.

Online presents.

Why?

The interface is intended to encourage reflection on the topic of worker monitoring and to put it in a critical light. Employees not only work at machine level efficiency but are also monitored like machines.

Thats included!

  • Active and inactive workers at a glance.

  • Map with live position tracking.

  • Power and efficiency level tracking of each individual employee.

  • Productivity ranking.

  • low power warning.

.interface

Employer 

The interface we designed gives the employer an overview of his employees. It shows in which state the individual workers are, or how efficiently they are working. In addition, a map shows the exact location of each worker and there is a ranking of the most efficient workers.

Dismissal of employees

Dismissal of employees

If an employee does not perform as expected despite performance-enhancing technology, he or she can be selected and dismissed by the employer via the interface. Without having to seek a personal discussion and getting into an unpleasant situation.
