I participated in the BIP Workshop in Berlin, a collaborative design sprint with students and professors from CODE University (Germany), IADE Lisboa (Portugal), Elisava Barcelona (Spain), and TU/e Eindhoven (Netherlands). The workshop, supported by Erasmus+ Blended Interactive Program (BIP), explored the intersection of technology and inequality through an intensive three-day research and design process.
Together with Leanda and Zé, I focused on how we could shift perspectives by looking at technology from a non-human point of view. We asked: What if objects around us like a simple street bench could communicate their experiences? This inquiry led to our final project: ‘How to Live Like a Bench’, a speculative zine and spoken word performance that explored the hidden dialogues between technologies and their role in social structures.
