Extra Room from Bernd Hopfengaertner on Vimeo.
A very very interesting project at Design Interactions Summer show was ExtraRoom by Gunnar Green (in collaboration with Bernhard Hopfengaertner). Directly influenced by the 50s and '60s experiments, ExtraRoom puts the sensory deprivation practice in a near futuristic scenario, when mind reading technologies are in common use and thoughts are not private anymore.
What would happen if your thoughts became directly accessible to others? What would happen to your innermost desires and believes? Would you still be you?
