2021.3 One X-Smart Kitchen: A Smart Home Narrative

Using the kitchen as a sample of the domestic space, this project seeks to imagine a playful future when casual technology and tangible forms of media equip all of our homes and the status of networked objects has evolved from the Internet of Things (IoT) to the Society of Things (SoT). Narrated from a first-person perspective, in a scenario where the human owner is using the online portal of their smart kitchen provider, the project shows how the human owner sees that these animated, augmented, empathetic or smart objects use their intelligence to connect with one another and lead double lives between times with and without human presence.
