Research output: Conference Article in Proceeding or Book/Report chapter › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review

Abstract

What if sound waves could protect your privacy and vaccines could protect your biometric data? What if you could watermark your voice and trees could store data? These are not questions, but ideas emerging from playful speculative design workshops. By drawing on the surrealist exquisite corpse technique, randomly combined sentences prompted exploratory discussions in which concepts from various technological fields were imaginatively linked to cy- bersecurity and privacy for visually impaired and blind elderly. The results showed that, exquisite corpse holds methodological poten- tial, as the unpredictable nature of the technique can stimulate unconventional thinking, which can be applied in various domains.
