Agency in the Smart Home of the Future is a short documentary film about a unique design fiction social experiment. Comprised mostly of trace evidence video footage recorded by field researchers on their smart phones, the film takes audiences directly into the reflexive lived experience of four Australian households, each of whom have had their real homes transformed into fully functional smart homes. Smart speakers, smart TVs, smart fridges, robo vacs, sensor lighting, etcetera! is installed into their homes as a gestalt to generate a paradigmatic shift in their everyday living and interactions. In the process, we discover how human agency and structure reproduce in this potential living environment of the future. |
