• KEY IDEAS:• agency• intentionality• aesthetics• product semantics• mediation • multi-stability of objects• co-creation
• TOWARD a theory of the moral agency of things

Post-Phenomenology
• “…a way to probe and analyze the role of technologies in social, personal, and cultural life … [undertaken] by concrete—empirical—studies of technologies in the plural.”
• Don Ihde, Phenomology and Technoscience, 23.
![Page 14: Design Fictions Week 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814433550346895db0cc5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• When things are used, people take up a relation to the world that these things, thanks to their “handiness,” co-shape.
• In this sense…human-world relations [are] … mediated by … products.
Verbeek, What Things Do, 211.
• on hybrid Intentionality: “These mediated experiences are not entirely human.” Verbeek,
Moralizing Technology, 50.

• Moralizing objects by design
• Objections?
• Verbeek’s critique of the objections?
• How does the multi-stability of objects factor into his critique?

• “The postphenomenological perspective allow[s] designers to approach human habits concerning product disposal as something wherein the products themselves play an active role –and therefore changeable—role.”
• Verbeek, What Things Do, 218.

Critical DesignDunne & Raby
Human Poo Energy Future, 2004
This project is a Critical Design experiment commissioned by the [London] Science Museum exploring different energy futures. We chose to design a collection of hypothetical products to explore the ethical, cultural and social impact of different energy futures. The scenarios include: domestic hydrogen production and child labour with specially designed family uniforms and corporate logos; bio-fuel created from the [blood of pets] and human waste. Each scenario is based on a real technology and asks what would happen if this became the main form of energy in the not too distant future.
