The most advanced design tool we have is our imagination. We see connected world as a place full of potential for surprise, imagination and creativity, which is inherent in the openness of each moment of connected experience. We started kinetic_optimism studio being interested in designing experiences that inspire new expectations. Partnering with Ford Product Development we are developing novel experiential narratives to unlock participatory potential of connected world, recasting connected vehicles, objects, systems and services as adaptive companions engaged in social context, inviting new relations, and inviting new human experiences. kinetic_optimism is an experiential design studio at VMLY&R Detroit investigating new forms of our relationship with technology and each other. We are focused on unlocking inventive potential of mobility to help us bet better at being human, not just more efficient commuters. Say hello!         hello@kineticoptimism.com
