A note on objects as projects

What characterizes the world of today more than anything else is the expansion of the term design to encompass the rethinking and recrafting of the whole fabric of life itself. Nothing is stable and taken for granted anymore, objects are no longer matters of fact. They have attained the higher status of projects, matters of concern for redesign.

This video looks at the ways in which interactive design is transforming our engagement with objects. It talks about the creation of an internet of things that respond to the ways in which we behave. A superorganism of humans and objects is displacing the solitary figure of the man on top of the food chain.
