The Krissi Xenakis project (Project X) was a sprint-style workshop envisioning a product or service 50 years in the future. Each student began by quickly ideating 10 ideas based on a previous ideation game we had played in class. With 10-15 minutes allotted for idea generation, students had little time to second guess their concepts.<\/p>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

From the initial ideation phase, we paired up to review our concepts and to narrow down to one idea. I chose to combine multiple ideas with the loose concept of an AI-powered memory-restoring service to be used by patients with degenerative mental diseases like dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

Students then composed a rough storyboard to describe the user process of our product or service. Students met one-on-one with Krissi to better flesh out our ideas. Here is where the idea of a \u201ctiered service\u201d was established; different levels of memory restoration would be available at different price points, thus implying a larger, perhaps more sinister pay-to-play system.<\/p>

\"\"<\/span><\/p>

Once we had established a concept, user, scenario and mapped out a potential user flow, we set out to create an artifact that would somehow relate to our product. I chose to create an advertising campaign (of sorts) promoting the functionality\/features of the service. The overall feedback from the workshop was that this kind of technology might be used by the general public, not just by alzheimer\u2019s patients. I shifted my concept to a technology that would\u00a0allow for enhanced mental capabilities, to be used at home, at work, during social interactions, etc. The final images from the weekend reflect the shift in concept.<\/p>
