speculative apps [2011-ongoing] is a series of applications addressing various aspects of design process either as unorthodox tools or as interactive commentary. Of key importance here is interactivity, playfullness and unrestricted access to the source code.
As a part of my thesis project at Zaha Hadid Masterclass, the series started as a proof of concept investigating possibilities of design communications beyond text and imagery. In 2011 the idea, that writing can be simultaneously performative [generating form, leaving material traces] and evolving [over the networks] was rather hot.
here my old blog entry .. unfortunately due to changes in how browsers handle java apps, the links to openprocessing are no longer active, but the codes are archived there.

Since 2012 Speculative Apps is a seminar i teach every winter at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
