Update and Request from Team Sailor Moon ☾

Hello Team Mosaico! Hope you're doing well. First of all, we published a little tutorial so that you can build a lo-fi prototype of our idea. Let us know if it's ok! Then, we got your final idea, with improvements from the previous feedback we gave you. Unfortunately, it does not present clear infos on how to build it in real life to have a prototype to test and show to the public. Should we just print some big crossword puzzle to glue to some board or is there something more we can do to make it a little bit more engaging? In your presentation the idea is about a kit of boards to put on a wall, but there is also a game refill options part which we don't know anything about. So, we would like to have more infos so that tomorrow we can build and construct something more usable and complete. We'll await for your response as soon as possible, thanks. Come on, we can do it! 😁

Quick Check-in: Need Concrete Ideas/Design to move forward with the project

Hey Mosaico Team, Hope you're all having a good week. We need your help with something urgent: we absolutely need to receive more concrete proposals for your ideas, especially regarding the design concepts. Right now, we're stuck and can't move ahead with the next project phases until we get this material. We need the details to actually start building and aligning everything on our end. On our side: just so you know, we've been busy refining the Smart Radio Idea. We've nailed down some key details and polished the storytelling to make sure it hits all the criteria you set out. Please prioritize getting those detailed proposals over to us ASAP so we can jump into action. Thanks so much!

3 Design Ideas – Team Mosaico & Sailor Moon

Hello team Sailor Moon! We are here to present you three ideas that we came up with during the week. Your briefing was all about waiting times and how precious that time could be. The emotional and cultural aspects are important for the final service/product. The goal is not necessarily about making the wait time smaller, since that is generally out of our control, but about making time more pleasurable. 1. A zine with games like crossword puzzles and health information. For exemple, in one page, there would be a game and in another there would be a page about which medication and vaccines are available on the health center. There could even be pages to write down symptoms they remember on the spot. 2. A small device that shows how many people are in front of them and vibrates the moment it is their turn. That would give them freedom to do whatever they wanted with their time. It could be used in whatever sort of place that usually has long waiting times. 3. Interaction with the enviornment. Exemples: a jukebox-like way of choosing the song playing; a white board wall for drawing; sticky note to put on the waiting places with drawings and messages; among others. We hope to hear from you soon :)

elderly people and music: a technological challenge

Project Briefing - Coletivo Mosaico Project Overview This year's Global Studio concept is “Celebrating Daily Little Joys of Life", focusing on those that came before us: the eldest in our families and communities. With that in mind, we, Mosaico, searched for something elderly people enjoyed but still struggled with. While asking our grandparents about these types of things, we found three stories with one common element: the love for music and the struggle to experience it in a modern, touch-screen driven world. Maria Renita's Story Maria Renita (81), Melissa's grandmother, is a dedicated and caring woman, extremely attached to tradition and her origins. She grew up in a small German-speaking colony in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, and although Renita lives in Brazil, she only learned Portuguese at the age of 14. Throughout her life, Renita has always been extremely involved with the local community, enjoying everything her culture has to offer, especially the traditional choirs and bands. This close relationship with music continued when she moved to Bento Gonçalves, a city in the Italian part of the Serra Gaúcha region, but the constant changes in technology prevented her from continuing to enjoy it. Having difficulty navigating the internet to find new songs to listen to, Maria became restricted to those available on her CD player, and when that stopped working, she found herself in a tough spot. Now, dependent on outside help to be able to listen to her music, Maria misses that bond she had with her own culture. Maria Antônia's Story  Maria Antônia, Isabela’s grandmother, is a kind and curious woman who has always been fascinated by new things. One day, while visiting a neighbor, she discovered Amazon’s Alexa. She was immediately amazed by how the device could understand voices, play music, and make daily life easier. From that moment, she dreamed of having one of her own, it became an object of great desire and admiration. When she finally bought her Alexa, she was filled with excitement and curiosity. However, her first experiences were not as simple as she imagined. Setting up the device turned out to be confusing, and she had to rely on her children’s help to make it work. Even after receiving guidance, she still struggles to use it alone. Despite these challenges, Maria Antônia still wishes she could just ask Alexa to play her favorite songs and enjoy music around the house, something that brings her joy and comfort. Yet, the complex interface and lack of accessibility make her feel frustrated and incapable, as if technology were not made for her. Maria Luiza's Story Maria Luiza is Raquel's Grandmother and she has been in love with music since she can remember. When younger, she used to play the accordion at her local church and family events. As she got older and weaker, her doctor recommended that she stop playing, but she couldn't even if she tried. Maria learned how to play the keyboard at 75 years old and hasn't stopped…

You may like to say something about your favourite design project you have done in the past and share a picture or two. What are your strong skills? Do you have a favourite book, movie or TV series? What is your favourite hiding place where your university is located? Please remember to include your contact details. It is essential that you list your email! However, it would be also useful to indicate what social media you are using such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Signal, Telegram, Line, Kakao Talk, Skype and so on.
