Project description

In this project, we dedicate ourselves technologically, conceptually and above all creatively to the idea of "doubles", immersing ourselves in the world of doppelgangers, copies, fakes, reflections, twins, reuses, shadow images, skeuomorphisms, data decay and avatars. The aim is to explore the emergent possibilities of augmented and mixed reality for designers: for the design process, but also for the (digital and/or analog) manufacturing process and the use of products in the age of their technological reproducibility and variability.
