Slow Something:
  0. collect your annotated portfolios for slow technology or slow design (see Botanical Printer )

  1. propose slow + another_thing
  2. discuss the time element (fast vs. slow), reflective aspects, amplifying environments (hide or reveal), form (simple or complex), material...

  3. Let generative AI play a role in data-transformation and form-making
  4. Sketch your design (design the form, and print out as situated probes (see Botanical Printer )
  5. Evaluate your design (situated photos, 翻頁年曆, google 日曆提醒法...)
  6. summarize design principles
