Context
I drew inspiration broadly from art and design works that challenge anthropocentrism. How can technology be in service of the environment, not just humans? How might technology in a possible future where life is wildly changed by ecological disasters be like? Within the creative constraints of “doorbell, temperature sensor, LED lights,” I felt an elegant way to embody my ideas is through an agentive and sensitive device that knows the weather and atmosphere better than humans, and communicates variations in weather to humans in an emotional way. Ideally, I want the doorbell to be “pressed” by the atmosphere/weather, taking away the agency from humans in that interaction(, which I wasn’t able to implement due to time constraints). I’m also vaguely inspired by a line in Shelley's poem: “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”
