week5, communicate inspiration from TED

                
                
In Kate Hartman’s design, I can tell that she is contribute to communicate with things that we can’t talk to or touch directly, like our body, convey noise in our mind to someone else not using words, plant, glaciers, wall… She is trying to make connection between these things by human protocols, or in physical way.
                
                
She said: “it’s really not so much about the object itself, but rather the negative space around the object. So what happens when a person puts this thing on? What kind of an experience do they have? And how are they transformed by wearing it?
                
                
t’s always been a problem we have to communicate with object. And they actually need to. Like people don’t know what’s happening to their inside body. Are they full? Thirsty? Sad? Happy? Sick? Maybe her way in communicate is too physically direct, but it will interact between human themselves to these object. She creates a formant or maybe just a desire to communicate.
                
                
                
                
Another things I learn is human ourselves, have the most specific sense of feeling, we can feel and learn what the need of that object by our knowledge. What we have to do is to feel or be part of it directly, like the wall Kate acted in or the hug she gave to the glacier.
She said:” what’s really important is thinking about how we can simultaneously maintain a sense of wonder and a sense of criticality about the tools that we use and the ways in which we relate to the world.
After all, we can design to communicate to object directly and feel what they tell us. Or let’s say we have many abstract object we can talk to, from which we can learn and experience much more than we expected.
