Technology
1/ Beyond the Horizon
A re-evaluation of the impact of technology on the individual and society as a whole. A reclaiming of control over our attention, personal ownership and discussion.
The shape of technology is evolving but at its core it still remains interesting. The format we use shapes how we experience sound and how we read text.
Every media shift reflects both access to and the preservation of vanishing hardware. For example, the nostalgic warmth of analogue filling spaces with its unique presence and quality of sound.
Nostalgia is integral to past formats not just for their function, but for the rituals they created; the press of a button, the sound of a reel.

2/ Roots of Renewal
Innovation thrives in the space where past wisdoms and emerging systems interconnect, creating a seamless connection between past, present, and future.
Nature’s rhythms can shape a new design era, where materials and movement follow natural cycles.
Technology does not have to just be about entertainment, it can be engaging, educational and mentally challenging.
Recycling lithium-ion batteries is essential for reducing environmental impact and ensuring a sustainable supply of critical materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Emerging direct recycling techniques aim to restore battery components with minimal processing and improving efficiency.

3/ A New Kind of Freedom
People feel nostalgic for the early internet and technology hardware, an era of optimism before algorithms dictated our every interaction.
The magic of analogue photography. The satisfying click of a mechanical shutter, a joy no touchscreen can replace.
Vintage Hi-Fi systems, where polished metal knobs and VU meters turning sound into a visual experience.
Progress is not just digital; it is deeply physical. Objects blend ancient mechanics with modern circuitry, a 19th-century typewriter retrofitted as a Bluetooth keyboard, technological evolution is not a straight line but a dialogue across centuries.
Positive technology adds joy and connection to life.

4/ The Power of One
AI interprets and reacts to dynamic movements, shaping a responsive environment that evolves alongside its users’ needs.
By operating discreetly and sensitively, AI blends into the background, enabling augmentation without disrupting the natural flow of human interaction.
Advanced systems have a sensitivity to real-world inputs, transforming data into intuitive, context-aware responses.
AI attunes itself to the subtleties of human emotion, adapting to and enhancing our actions.
Technology anticipates needs, creating environments where people feel continuously supported and nurtured.
