Sophia Brueckner
Learning from Sci-Fi and Prototyping Alternative Futures

Dr. Franco Pestilli

Assistant Professor, Stamps School of Art and Design, University of Michigan

As a designer, Sophia Brueckner is interested in the application of embodied cognition to interaction design, wearable technology, digital fabrication, generative systems, sound, and, as a technology antidote, painting. In this presentation, she will share examples of her work in Sci-Fi Prototyping, which combines science fiction, functional prototypes, and the ethics of invention/design. By materializing speculative fictions, Brueckner seeks to understand and call attention to technology's controlling effects, while encouraging the ethical and thoughtful design of new technologies.
