Empathic Design or technological concern for better tomorrow
The exhibition “Empathic Design: Technological Concern for a Better Tomorrow” aims to promote empathy by humanizing technology through design, awareness of the negative effects of rapid technological development, presentation of creative answers to contemporary challenges.
Each edition is the result of the work of the research and teaching team and students of the Wroclaw Academy of Art & Design (Poland, Europe).
The presented solutions are hybrid prototypes on the borderline between utilitarian objects and interfaces.
The designers emphasize the importance of empathy as a tool for understanding the challenges of present times. The exhibition features, among others, innovative solutions promoting a harmonious relationship between people and nature, interactive furniture inducing contemplation or objects from the area of speculative design.
Design here becomes a mechanism for understanding emotions, social moods, as well as a tool for manifesting, criticizing, educating or prototyping our future.
