April 21 - Transhumanist Design at CHI 2015

Article: Misc. 
 

This is a short article about two interesting technologies presented at CHI 2015 in Seoul Korea which I think exemplify transhumanist design principles. While transhumanism is commonly known as philosophical idea, social movement, and most recently a political movement, it can also rightly be viewed as a strategy for design, which is to say, transhumanism is a way of thinking about design and designing things.
 
What sets transhumanist design apart from previous ideas about design is first the requirement that we are designing something that is intended to enhance and extend life. But also, inherent in the transhumanist approach to design is the notion that the user themselves can be designed. While user centered design and mainstream industrial design focus around the design and creation of useful objects, transhumanist designers consider the design of systems which augment, manipulate or even deeply alter the functions of the users themselves.
