It's is obvious that our being in the world is deeply interwoven with our material world. How we understand, what we understand, and indeed what we are is tied to 'things', and most importantly, technologies.
Can we untangle this system to see the concepts and interrelations beneath so that this clarity can help us build a better world?
This is the question DisAssemble attempts to answer.
DisAssemble will the investigate the space the murky areas between the practical and the intellectual:
-The evolving hybrid assemblage involving the human, the technological and beyond
-The way this hybrid assemblage alters how we understand and what we are
-How to research and design for this new assemblage
Disassemble will use the philosophy of technology to approach this invesigation. All the stuff academics are talking about; all the stuff people have been thinking about for years, but aren't applying to our lived technological world. There is a noticeable dearth of analysis using this philosophical angle on the web. I feel this is vital, as while of us create technologies and all of us use technologies, we have a very superficial understanding of how they change and interrelate to our being.
