SOCIAL PANACEA

Hello. here are some of the scribblings from our meeting today, have fun with them

number one:
WHAT: what are you researching?


This research will investigate the human psyche and it's role in the [propagation] [disposition] of the dominant. (Williams).




a dichotomy between thought and action.
WHY: why do we want to do this?

distopian... a nihilistic, apathetic dominant entrenched in it capitalistic comforts

the current state of society

society seems to be heading


who: target audience

other designers. consumers.



how: methods of application

game. illustration. ???

examining the dichotomies of current society in order to isolate points of entry where designers can propagate/influnce/create systems or mechanisms that can be divisive in the shepherding of the dominant.

wont get a defensive reaction

number two:

The dominant system of thought is controlled by individuals.

the dominant culture at present is in dire need of change, it has perpetuated the consumer society and and capitalist economy that is rooting the world culturally, environmentally and, ecologically.

the selfishness has to move towards selflessness.

human

the current culture is stagnant

the dominant system of thought needs to adapt and is always fluid(and always does?)


the state of human consciousness needs to change. zeitgeist

The human psyche
