その一方で、倫理的に疑わしい実験も可能になります。どんなテクノロジーもそうですが、二つの側面があります。しかしここで、アートにできてスペキュラティブ・デザイン(思考するきっかけを与え、「問い」を生み出し、いま私たちが生きている世界に別の可能性を示すデザインのこと)にあまりできないであろうことは、負の側面を示すということです。
Dunne & Raby is a London-based design studio established 1994.
Dunne & Raby uses design as a medium to stimulate discussion and debate amongst designers, industry and the public about the social, cultural and ethical implications of current and emerging technologies. Its practice is centred on Critical Design, a critical theory approach to design.
Critical design takes a critical theory based approach to design. This kind of design uses design fiction and speculative design proposals to challenge assumptions and conceptions about the role objects play in everyday life. Critical design plays a similar role to product design, but does not emphasize an object's commercial purpose or physical utility. It is mainly used to share a critical perspective or inspire debate[1] while increasing awareness of social, cultural, or ethical issues in the eyes of the public. Critical design was popularized by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby through their firm, Dunne & Raby.
しかしながら科学技術にできる問いは芸術にできるが逆に芸術による問いは科学ではできないという考えは正しいだろうか?
