MOBILE 2020
What will the mobile phone look like in the year 2020? Is it even smaller - maybe integrated with the ring on your finger? Will it be a multipurpose tool that communicates with all the other tools you own? A kind of communication central for the home, at work, in the shopping mall, at the cinema, in concerts or in any of those environments that we inhabit?
And what will the effects be on the society? Will we be more connected, more in touch with our beloved and dear or will we be more overloaded with crap media, information and stressful interactions?
We would like to know what you believe about the future mobile, what you think it looks like and what it will be used for.
We arrange two competitions:
-
Mobile Phone 2020: design competition
Here you submit a design of the future mobile phone, with a description of what it will be used for and a set of drawings describing its visual appearance. The winner gets a 6 month employment to realise parts of his/her vision. -
Utopian/Dystopian future: a novel contest
Her you submit a novel that describes either an utopian or dysopian prospect of the future when mobile technology is all integrated with various functions in the society.
