Directions 22 are a way we, as Tangity, have questioned ourselves on the reality around us. Looking at the world through three lenses - personal, social and environmental - we enhance our conception of design as a means for value creation at every level. While the world is constantly changing, it's increasingly difficult to interpret it. We want to embrace complexity by humanizing reality. 

Are we truly augmenting reality, or are we just running away from it?

What if we worked towards building a hybrid society where everyone can enjoy the benefits that technology offers?

How can we make our choices’ consequences more visible to help unlearn unsustainable patterns and overcome harmful behaviors?

Start reflecting on these and other important questions with Tangity's very own Giselle Chajin, Emanuela Cozzi, Antonio Grillo and Christoph Rauscher, who share valuable insight into the future and showcase how design can be leveraged to create balance, value, and well-being in a world increasingly threatened by inequality, misinformation, and virtual alienation.
