Reality

Metaphoric Representation


A desk and its representation.

Graphic interfaces are the metaphor for navigating the information.

The interfaces mediate the manipulation of the information on behalf of human beings.

The most noted of metaphors is that of the computer desktop.


Mimesis

Metaphor RealityMimesis

Low Res


We pushed forward the mimetic imitation of reality. Such an imitation, just as any imitation, even if “perfect” is perceived as alien and “rejected” and considered “ineffective” in the long term.

Hyper Natural Object

The HNO overlap through layers of information, software layers, behavior layers, and physical layers

that are responsive to real objects.

THEY DO NOT MIMIC them.

The iPad is the first tool capable of distributing Hyper Natural Objects.


What defines aHyper Natural Object?

1. Hyper Natural Objects have a soul (app) that is diffused over the network.

2. That “turn over and re-invent” the tool that accepts it (e.g. iPad) so well to enable it to “interpret” a specific user experience (UX), stratifying itself on other comparable pre-existing usage habits



These “connected” objects have a special relationship with human beings that become “a part of” the “body” of the tool (e.g. iPad)

The human being reacts |:| in respect to the information, it’s no longer mediated by a cursor.


The Sensors present in these new objects, represent the permanent organ of contact with reality:

They listen, track and contextualize every single event, in a continuous and independent way.(automatic behavior).

The Turning Point


The relationship between human beings and Hyper

Natural Objects is special and very different in respect to

traditional digital tools.


The divide between the digital and physical world is always becoming more and more

evanescent.

We’ll live in a hyper natural environment where representation and reality will no longer be in separate worlds.

Thinking about my Son…

I developed the dimension of the physical body:

“3-dimensional” and “spatial”

to be able to create new relationships with the child and other children that use other

HNO’s.

Hyper Natural Objects are and always will be more and more integrated in a very natural and magical way into our daily lives.



We won’t talk anymore about “digital natives”

but of the ...
