RENDER ME
Gender Stereotypes in Interaction Design
Inês Matos Tuna The project entitled “Render Me” deals with a satirical approach to the deterministic effects of biometric systems that reinforce gender stereotypes. Considers a speculative future where “skins” define the social construction of identity and only through these skins can the metaverse be explored.
The methodology applied to the project follows the research process developed by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby – Critical and Speculative Design. This design methodology aims to reveal the values and ideologies absorbed in digital systems and how they transform the relationship with human beings. In fact, the authors intend to take advantage of design as a tool for raising awareness of less recognized issues, allowing the emancipation of human beings as consumers: “design can help to expand awareness about the consequences of our actions as citizens and consumers” As James Auger states, “speculative design proposals are essentially questioning tools” and not proposals for new technological products. / Master Thesis (completed)
