Blister

Alexander Jestl (AT)

Speculative design in pharmaceuticals is used in an investigation about packaging waste and overproduction of medicines. Three different visions present a plausible, a purely fictional and a preferable near-future approach: 3-D printing, green utopias and smart home systems are sources of inspiration. The exhibition object, a blister that disturbs the familiar image through deviant forms, becomes a symbol of new visions of healthcare futures.
