The third episode of The User Condition series will take place just before the holidays! On the 29th of July, French designer Anaëlle Beignon will discuss with Silvio Lorusso about design approaches that take into account the use of obsolete devices.
But what does obsolete really mean? In her master thesis, Anaëlle shows how obsolescence is not an "essential" feature of a device, but a relational quality involving societal and technical expectations.
In this episode we will tackle those expectations and their consequences on participation in social life. We will go back to the origin of the term obsolescence to see how it relates to economic imperatives. Finally, we will consider those art and design practices that help us reconsider what is obsolete and what it is not.
