The epilogue's purpose is to make sense of my research and how it amounted to more uncertainty. Despite all the problems and solutions, they surround misinformation which is unsolvable by its nature.
Therefore, I see my videos as my best expression of this design research and misrepresented emerging technologies.
“Quotations are useful in periods of civil unrest.” - Guy Debord
Instead of addressing the issues of our present systems, cryptocurrencies and figures like Elon Musk advertise the spectacle of replacing our systems with little supporting evidence and contradictory traits.

Act 1: Fringe Intensive (Theory)
This Fringe Festival workshop is called reimaging digital cities, exploring public space from the point of view of everyday digital technologies.
Speculation and play were utilised to encourage engagement, documenting such a design environment had guided me to engage with my perception of technology and how it was influencing my design and documentation processes.
How might we inform and emotionalise the issue of
misrepresented technologies through design research & experimental videography?

How well do I answer my HMW question: the open-ended complexity of research question means the answer will also be open ended.
It depends on the takeaway of each viewer to determine whether I have succeeded in making them care about the issue.
I can’t say it will affect anyone but it at least means something to me.
If I'm making stuff up as I go, I should at least make it look cool, interesting, or like I did it on purpose.

Act 3: GUT.S Exhibition (Theory)
For my GUT.S exhibition I decided to promote a loose collaborative making activity, where the participants would exploratorily draw on top of a monochrome photograph of our empty classroom as an A0 canvas.
My GUT.S exhibition aimed to reflect my project’s speculative and experimental design methods, where I am just making stuff up as I go, where I just want to make interesting things.

A figure like Elon Musk also participates in spectacle through his brand of futurism, like advertising superficial missions to mars instead of addressing the dire reality of climate change or claiming future free speech with his purchasing of twitter while attempting to silence sexual assault allegations by a former space-x employee.
This is the problem that my research calls the infinite machine, a modern environment where spectacle overrules merit.

Reflection: Why & how is documention valuable to my design research?
Reflection: Why & how is documention valuable to my design research?
Documenting my work allows me to manifest a reflective relationship between theory and studio work,
crafting a narrative and my voice in my research. A voice that is tired of dealing with the issue, but a voice that can design for those feelings.
Most importantly, design research has allowed me to embody design research.
This promoted contemplation on how my research could be an outcome of uncertainty and more questions, restarting the cycle of the double diamond infinitely, so I guess this is my case study of design research.
