The Blue Dot.
This infographic is the outcome of a project from my second year of my degree. The brief required one to develop an AI tool in response to an environmental and social issue. I chose to respond to the consumption and disposal culture of modern capitalist societies. Following this I briefly designed a speculative app which was inspired by and based off of the blue zone theory. This term was coined by Dan Buettner, referring to the regions in the world where there are the highest number of centenarians. What him and others discovered was the commonalities in people’s lifestyles between all regions. Some of which were a slower pace of living, purpose and connection to ones community and nature. I saw the opportunity to reframe this and see how it could be integrated into our consumer culture as a way of reshaping our practices, rituals and habits. Ultimately the app is designed to connect the gap between us and healthier living, a more meaningful experience of consumption and a connection to our community.
