Description
The concept of self-design has expanded beyond traditional material objects, encompassing digital identities, personal devices, and even genetic codes. This book explores the intersection of design and human existence in the face of rapid technological advancements. The fourth industrial revolution is reshaping our daily lives, and it's essential to reevaluate the relationship between design and what it means to be human. The contributors to this publication come from diverse disciplines, offering a range of perspectives on this critical issue. Through its examination of psychopathology, plasticity, and post-labor, this book sheds light on the need for a fundamental rethink about our connection with designed objects and the world around us.
