The concept of techriolage relates to the approach to reappropriate technical objects. It investigates the potential of integrating traditional crafts with electronic waste to engage communities in repair practices, and foster a more ecological and culturally sensitive design culture.
I want to delve into the philosophical implications of the relationship between technology and human existence, emphasising the importance of local knowledge and cultural diversity in addressing modern day problems of electronic waste. For example:
What alternative methods and processes can we develop to address the multiple crises created by unchecked capitalism?
What modes of resistance are possible across academic, cultural, governmental, business and activist institutions?
Most importantly, how can we participate in reimagining ways of life with attention to design justice?
