Recently, creative people everywhere were called to submit speculative nanotech products for presentation at the NANO supermarket. A jury of design and science experts awarded the best submission a € 2,500 prize. Furthermore, three submissions have been awarded an Honorable Mention in recognition of the quality of their project proposals. The winning proposals have now been posted online for all to view.
Generally, the jury was pleased with the creativity displayed in the 33 submissions, although there were doubts about the feasibility and technological evidence of many projects that were submitted. On the one hand, there were proposals that revealed a good understanding of what nanotechnology entails, but have difficulty to bring in an artistic and visionary dimension. On the other hand, several proposals were adventurous, visionary, and strong from an artistic viewpoint, but were without an assessment of the actual properties and scientific implications of nanotechnology.
The winner was a sock that puts itself on your foot. So, in the future, it will be significant problems of this sort that will most merits the concern of humanity.
