RE-CREATE!
THIS NAVIGATIONAL MODEL
REFLECTS A SERIES OF DESIGN PRINCIPLES THAT SEEK TO SUBVERT DOMINANT UX DESIGN PRACTICES
THESE ARE NOT PAGES, THESE ARE SPACES
Magines are hyperlinked information clusters//sculptures: be aware of the navigation as a powerful conveyor of meaning, stressing the centrality of the hyperlinked architecture to online experiences.
DRIFT!
HEAL
These strategies seek to generate healing effects: MAGINES deploy psychotechnologies to educe experiences and engagements alternative to the toxic and addictive effects of dominant UE design practices
MAGINES appropriates the non-linear narrative structures of video games to educe active engagement: a cure for the numbing passivity implicit in UX design
**Enjoy your navigation as a derive: an open creative act moving freely across spaces and dimensions
PLAY
Zoom in and out on your browser; rotate your mobile device. Embrace the interface as an image, a complex field of information and experiences
The guiding metaphor for the creation of these sites is space: instead of 'reading' we invite 'spacial explorations' (INSTEAD OF A BOOK, THINK GOOGLE MAPS)
Each site is imagined as an information cluster in a potentially endless space for potentially endless creative possibilities
EXPLORE!
These spaces can be navigated in two levels or dimensions:
At the interface-level through the hyperlinks and embeds
The 'map facilitates another, "cosmos-level" navigation. Here, 'map' is a reductive description of complex space formations the geometries of which can only be described in their own terms: a MAGINE
