COLOMBOT
Bring your favorite colonialist to life
Aldo Medina This project work, circumscribed by the discipline of design, aims to make visible the socio-cultural tensions emanating from the presence of colonial era commemorative monuments in the public sphere. Based on the postulates of Remediation theory, Discursive Design and Speculative Design principles, it was proposed to develop a web application that exposes the glorification of colonialism in official discourse.
The final web-app was designed based on a fictional scenario, in which some of the most problematic traits observed in European authorities are exacerbated to the point of satire. The fictitious scenario was based on the social and political context of contemporary Portugal, strained by its relationship with its colonial past. |
