About
Mokone_6858
Mokone's work explores the intersection of speculative futures and the deeply ingrained cultural practices surrounding health and well-being. Challenging the prevalent, often sterile, approach to digital health, Mokone's projects delve into the realm of the hypothetical, asking how technological interventions might be reframed through the lens of ritual and ancestral wisdom. The work acts as a form of design archaeology, unearthing the symbolic and emotional core of traditional practices, which is then translated into speculative design concepts. These concepts, presented as digital artifacts and interactive narratives, are not intended as practical solutions but as provocations. They are deliberately designed to disrupt conventional thinking about the relationship between technology and the human experience of health. Mokone seeks to replace the pervasive assumption that technology must always be efficient and unobtrusive, with an alternative vision where technology plays an active, even celebratory, role in the processes of healing and maintaining wellness. These concepts, presented as story fragments and interactive experiences, aim to create a cognitive dissonance, leading to a critical review of the user for the default solution with default acceptance. Mokone prompts inquiry using the hypothetical prototypes. By embedding these speculative designs within the rich context of Basotho cultural heritage, Mokone crafts a unique dialogue between the past and the future, questioning whose experiences shape which future. Proposing an alternative future. Proposing an alternative futute to the default one. The work is meant to challenge assumption, not just find solutions.
