03. »Good Intentions« – UX/UI Interactive Platform
Friedrich von Borries says »Design is political because it intervenes into the construction of the world«. With this in mind, I started to analyse how ideology works and how does design contributes on the use of ideologies as political instruments.
My research started with philosophy, semiology and psychology. After gathering information and theories on the topic of ideologies and understanding its different functions, I started with the field research doing interviews and surveys on different ideological and political positions.

My intention is to visualise complex systems that affects our daily life. The topic I chose, is mainly socio-economic problems that have been often approached from different ideological perspectives. I visualise this problems bringing clarity and access for better understanding.
This interactive platform, as part of a small interactive installation, is a website coded with java script and the D3 library, intended to visualize a network of »good intentions and its consequences«.

Groups of information on different economic daily-life problems are placed as a galaxy. Users can click and see what could happen after some particular »well-intended« political decision is taken and how people can be affected by it.
I want to show what people don’t see, how topics get connected to one and other in a web, and what stories behind appear in every economic movement.
