The connected Bauhaus

Jenny Judge and Julia Powles argue that we need to look at the internet of things in a smarter way. In a similar way like Bauhaus used to look at things: when you look at it, it should be obvious what it does. It should be obvious what data is collected and where it goes, just like the Centre Pompidou in Paris. If we don’t start creating things in this manner, our basements will end up filled with huge piles of silly — but connected — crap. Or we end up in a world where all the things we use are owned by data hungry marketers and lawyers.
