About Common Sense
Common Sense from the Design Academy at A/D/O questions design’s role in accommodating the fundamentals of our sensory system. To what extent can design alter our perceptions and to what degree can our senses be augmented or recalibrated? At a time when perceptions of the world are increasingly polarized, when the truth is questionable and consensus seems impossible to achieve, we consider if we’ve lost touch with common sense and our shared ability to perceive something without debate.
Cutting through the sensory overload of attention-grabbing stimuli, A/D/O is staging a series of talks, workshops, installations and interventions that examine the power of design to harness physiology, culture and technology to heighten our understanding of a shared world.
