This project considered the potential futures of chosen emerging technologies (micro-implants and vein-scanning technologies) through the creation of artefacts that concretise those futures by imagining a point of domestication.
The final product for this project presents itself as a loan form the British Museum . It is accompanied by a letter explaining the loan and context of the artefacts selected. This final product act as a gathering of things that were made during the RAGA era, but in a way shaped it.
There are both advantages and disadvantages that comes with the implementation of any new technology. Cultural and social factors are often disregarded in terms of developing potential futures around an artefact. Criticality brings a new way of approaching a product. This bring more depth and understanding not only to the product in question, the RAGA chip, but also the world that shelters it. It is important to remember that this product does not only comes with a new set of affordances but also brings up new questions such as potential personal data violation, and the link between the man and the machine becoming theoretical.
