In 6112195-16181513919519 familiar objects, elements of architecture and geometric shapes are combined with created pre-existing digital elements, transposing them into unfamiliar configurations for a new speculative future purpose. Utilising elements derived from ‘modern’ life prognosticates and evaluates future trajectories, highlighting a symbiotic relationship between past, present and future. Therefore, this liminal proposal critiques modern ideologies and values via the fictional lens of the future.A future in which, based on contemporary proclivities for self-improvement and knowledge valuing, society strives for the ultimate solution rendering themselves in a heightened state of vulnerability ensues objectification. Utilising speculative design as a theoretical subliminal stimuli tool, 6112195-16181513919519 re-interprets specific factual and anecdotal information. Sectors of design, spa, sales, real estate, religion, ai and personal development are re-evaluated questioning their binary and associated ethicality.Culminating multiple proposal outcomes, fluctuations of design fidelity, gaps in logic, artificial impressionism and the glitch, this work, divulges discrepancies between proposed facts, objective experience, critiquing its own legitimacy and origin.

3152294 1930 ć Enilec explores how proclivities for technological, human and societal improvement can result in speculative objects that explore solution desire: the act of problem-solving with the objective being an ultimate, perfect outcome. However, humans perpetual need for advancement often introduces its own inimitable issues. Therefore, this approach merely seeks to explore how liminal proposals can function as subjective responses. 3D software is utilised to create prophetic prototypes inferring that tangible counterparts are yet to exist. Animation, orthographic renders, close up stills and audio seek to explore the object, its construction, its ambiguously plausible function, suggested corporeal interaction, and how this may allude its attributed context and value systems.
Enduring industrial objects; tanks, pumps, bolts, nuts, pipes and chairs; are combined with created and pre-existing digital elements, transposing them into unfamiliar configurations referencing concepts of the readymade and assemblage. This innovation and metamorphosis assesses and re-interprets seemingly disparate information and what is necessary from the past while embracing new technologies to create progressive futures.
This work collates information from known notions of reality; topical issues, scientific journals, automotive textbooks and science fiction, with notions of plausibility and speculation. The resulting mixed reality begins to question the spectrum between the binaries of fact, fiction; scientific, spectacle; object, architecture, past, future; and how selective aspects of constructivism and critical design call to question how objects of ‘modern’ life can prognosticate and evaluate future trajectories.
