Chrono_shredder

Imagine a world in which human hibernation has become common practice. Since hibernation dramatically reduces the natural ageing process, would people become obsessed by it? Would they regard natural ageing as threat? Will they start counting their "awake" hours like they count calories today? And if so, which products would these people need?

DESIGN INTERACTIONS

complicated pleasures

Walk on the wild side

This project investigates the fear and pleasure of encountering one's "inner evil self". The encounter of the inner evil self is about the fact that you might not be able to keep up with the trained self-control. You might do something totally catastrophic, socially disastrous or simply self-destructive.
