How will product design change as computing power becomes stronger, smaller and cheaper?

Supertoys already integrate themselves tightly into society. They speak secret languages, play games, seek praise, form relationships, and seamlessly become ‘the perfect friend’ – but how will they develop in the future?

This practical workshop, invites you to join a team of technologists, creatives, product designers and young experts to consider ‘if silicon chips were super cheap and super powerful, what toy would you design?’

A prize will be awarded to the winning pitch, as voted for by a panel of young experts.

This event is run in collaboration with Arnolfini, in response to Supertoys, 22 Nov – 18 Jan 2009.

This event is now fully booked. If you would to be added to the waiting list, please email your name and contact details to victoria [at] watershed.co.uk
