Abstract

In this article, we approach the theme "We have never been so digital" through a project experience oriented by the strategic design methodology of scenarios. In this experience, led by UNISINOS University's Seeding Lab, all project interactions and disseminated results were made possible by the use of digital resources. We started from an initial premise: social distancing puts distinct realities in evidence. With that being said, what realities are these? How do subjects feel and live this very peculiar moment? In order to answer these questions, we interviewed 30 randomly-selected people via WhatsAppand gathered images posted on social networks that characterized life's dissensions during the period of social distancing. The gathered visual and sound images were fragmented and assembled in scenarios that represent distinct realities. The audiovisual products, entitled Polyphonic Windows, promote an aesthetic experience based on polyphony. These scenarios produce effects of sense on the society at a critical dimension.
