I was interviewed for Leida, the magazine of the Estonian Academy of Arts. Prof. Taavi Hallimäe and I talked about the ethics of designing and the impact of technology on society and culture.
As questions about the impact of technology on society and culture are increasingly emerging, Ariel Guersenzvaig discusses the ethics of designing in these new circumstances. In the interview he relies on the historical background of the philosophy of technology and on his own experience working with designers to share his ideas about how technology shapes who we are, and is simultaneously shaped by us. The designer’s responsibility is to find a balance between the impact of technology and our contemporary values.
