'The Role of Design in Political Debate: (De)mitigating Polarisation'
"The Role of Design in Political Debate: (De)mitigating Polarisation''
Supervised by Prof. Pelin Celik and Prof. Sebastian Feucht, this graduation project began with a theoretical study on the polarizing nature of social media, driven by misinformation and user-user dynamics — investigating how these forces contribute to political polarization on social networks.
Practice Study, a Speculative Timeline
Speculative Timeline
Using Speculative Design, I explored a "speculative timeline" with artifacts from 2030, 2035, and 2045, narrating various User-Platform dynamics along the evolution of communication technologies and fundamental policies.
This resulted in the concept of a speculative museum, which is currently on hold to seek further research and exhibition opportunities. The following visualizations elaborate on the concept and the research potential of each time frame.
