Intent:

The intent of this project is to invite the viewer to ask the question: "What if devices were alive and could talk to one another? How would they talk? Would they want to talk to us? Or would they talk behind our backs?" We boldly assume that technology is human-centered and we fixate on what technology can do for us, in front of us. Instead, we wanted to invert this paradigm, giving these objects agency of their own and making it our goal to make the viewers curious about what was happening when they weren't there. We wanted to challenge the notion that the only way objects communicate is through Bluetooth or other forms of packaged data. When each given their own personality, we also wanted to see how a system of objects would operate.
