INDIVIDUAL PROJECT - SPRING 2019 ROLE: Designer, Research, Technologist

Associated With: Museo Tamayo, MXC

Roaming View

Roaming View is a device, developed through fieldwork in Mexico City, that facilitates design research and conversations about the technologies we use to navigate and understand our neighborhoods.

See full case study here.

Outcomes

I created two versions of the Roaming View device, which takes pictures from an ankle view with each step you take. These journeys were represented visually through time lapse videos, as well as faux google maps directions.

Field Research

This project emerged from field research and immersion in Mexico City, responding to the broad design brief to explore the role of technology in Mexico City at different scales and the embedded value systems they create and support.

Making as Thinking

Iteratively prototyping in Mexico City on a device that could help me explore the different technologies of navigation. This prototyping was in response to the observation that technologies like satellite view maps and google steet view can’t capture the ever changing nature of Mexico City.
