time to stop messing around

I want to design devices and systems to instigate and mediate debatediscussions in pubs

Why? I’m interested in the spaces created by people coming together to discuss and debate. I’m intrigued by the friction this creates and how this generates newsness and facilitates creativity, a broadening of horizons.

Why the pub? The pub is a unique platform for these kinds of discussions. It is a social leveller and brings together many different people from many different walks of life. It is a unique place of interaction and communication with others, with it’s own set of rules and etiquette. I’m interested in how people interact differently in a pub than anywhere, in how serious and lighter subjects can be dealt with almost in the same breath.
