Cell Trance | Illustration by Katherine Miyake from Curious Rituals

I crossed paths with an article about a design study into the behaviours + practices we adopt from using technology. It roused my interest. Firstly – I am now acutely aware that I actually practice some of the things described. I had been blissfully unaware until I saw the article on co.DESIGN.

The design study, Curious Rituals actually illustrates common trends in behaviour created by the technology we consume. And when I say illustrates – I mean it. Which is my second -big- reason for interest. It presents patterns of individual human behaviours in a really simple way. From this baseline I also ask (the authors of the study ask this too) what will be the design patterns of the future?

In the meantime… I have sensors to wave at and cell-trance circuits to complete.
