Briefing:
What's next? Are you thrilled or frightened?
In this year´s summer semester you will have the possibility to focus on your media of
choice, either to try out yet uncharted territory or to develop more deeply a certain skill or
to expand on a personal field of design interest to work towards a more complete portfolio
of yours.
In order to make it easy for you to find a personal theme and also to build a collective volume
of work that will serve as the exhibition of our class at the ESSENCE 2016 show, we will
look at various fields of scientific and technological breakthrough achievements and their
speculative consequences for our future.
“Human nature doesn’t change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering
the world irreversibly. We now live in a world in which the rate of change is the biggest change. Science has thus become a big story, if not the big story: news that will stay news.”

Answer:
// An interactive ads and a teaser for I/0.
I/0 is a new virtual reality system.
It connects your mind to a digitized world of complete freedom by wearing a device in the shape of a neck chain .
I/0 lets you escape from a world of rules and restrictions to unleash your true inner wildness.
Now, uncivilize yourself!
