The Garden of Love Towards the Origin

At the beginning was the Object…

…Magic

And the Object became…

…Useful

Then the object became…

…Reproductible

Before becoming…

…Connected

And eventually becomes…

…MAGIC (but trully this time)

From Interaction Design Dto Relationship Design!

The Garden of Love

The Concept

•  A bench, a street light, a dustbin, perceiving their environment, having behaviors and in relation with each other and with their human environment

•  Reproducing the stakes of Marivaux’s theater (seduction, cheating, treason, manipulation)

•  The garden’s configuration is never the same, depending on the environment

•  Services and existential questionning coexist

Marivaux & robots : the stakes

•  Situations more than characters •  No gender issues in their games •  Importance of desire and libido •  Social situation are more important •  Looking for the « other »

(hurman and robots) •  Importance of social hierarchy

(user > bench -> Light -> Dustbin) •  Services as well as respect are due
