Design fiction, robotics and speculating about the future

"Should there be robots that blush?"In this episode, Nour, the host and founder of Femmes Designers, is joined by Soomi Park, a London-based designer and artist from Seoul, South Korea. Soomi is a lecturer in the Design department at the Goldsmiths University of London. Her approach to design is playful but socially critical and discusses issues that need more attention in today's society. Her work explores the complex relationship between emerging technologies and human desires and encompasses a wide range of mediums, including interactive installations, speculative objects, film, photography, performance, and wearables.You can find out more about Soomi Park here: https://soomipark.com/ and follow via Instagram @soomippp and Twitter @imoosplusKeep up to date with Femmes Designers here: https://femmesdesigners.com/ and follow via @femmesdesigners________________________________Femmes Designers is a creative community launched to inspire the next generation of makers in STEAM fields while championing the work of women artists, designers and scholars interested in how the contemporary arts and design interact with people, science and technology.
