Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

“Quando se é confrontado com os trabalhos do Pedro é-se
assolado por uma súbita estranheza e curiosidade diante
dos elementos que surgem. Aparentam, denunciam, asse-
melham-se, mas são agora, uma outra coisa, possuem uma
outra existência, para lá da mera função de qualquer um
desses objectos reconhecíveis. Transformados, manipulados
e essencialmente, desvinculados do seu ambiente original,
estes objectos projectam-se no espaço, e potenciam-se nos
domínios da imaginação. Aqui o artista insurge-se como
um engenheiro, foi ele que concebeu cautelosamente estas
peças, reinventadas a partir de elementos selecionados do
quotidiano, peças que, afinal, sempre nos rodearam.”

4. Construção obsessiva-compulsiva.
Duas rodas de bicicleta e duas correias de borracha,
prolongam e desmultiplicam a velocidade frenética do motor.
O sistema de locomotiva, simples e frágil, é o elemento de
ignição para articular a estrutura de barras de aço, redondo
e furjado, com dimensões que tomam por referência o
corpo humano, prolongando-se em ondas energéticas pelo
espaço. Construção obsessiva-compulsiva é uma repetição
de compulsões, contínuas, hipnotizando e pautando o tempo
de observação do espectador. Diferentes ritmos e sons e
tensões, a própria mecânica que arcaicamente faz oscilar a
estrutura na sua totalidade, a fragilidade pantenteada em
todo o mecanismo, são sintomas que intensificam uma
inquietação, uma desordem, ou dissolve-os, revelando
harmonização e equilíbrio.

7. Um grito no vazio para o nada.
Acabamos por ter que rumar para lugar nenhum quando
realmente percebemos e descobrimos onde estamos.
“Penso, penso no sentido de tudo aquilo que não faz sentido
e quanto tudo isso não faria nenhum sentido se tivesse
algum sentido.” Esta expressão do livro “Um grito no vazio
para o nada” é a constatação de um indivíduo que vagueia
pelos labirintos da sua própria mente, contemplando a sua
existência e o lugar onde está, tal como nesta instalação
site-specific, uma ventoinha paira sobre um objecto não
identificado.

Os objectos resultam de uma investigação visual de
fragmentos no campo da indústria tecnológica. A idealização
de novas formas e a transformação da própria natureza
das imagens capturadas, passam por descontextualizar e
reconstruir a matéria (o objecto real), explorando as ideias
de alteridade e de ficção. A manipulação digital (rotação/
espelho/repetição) é a ferramenta do artista, que possibilita
agigantar o carácter fragmentário e fugidio da imagem real
e do seu peculiar desenho, providenciando uma “visão táctil”
que é por natureza errante. O trabalho encontra assim, a
escala alienígena que era uma ambição do pensamento.
“...olho outra vez e liberto-me
dessa vontade racional e ontológica,
e entro em órbita efectivamente.”

Onde nunca até aquele momento.
O personagem do texto “Stirrings Still” de Samuel Beckett,
tem a incapacidade de se mover. Não é que não se mova,
move-se, mas isso é inútil e não o leva a lugar algum, assim
como acontece no vídeo, acabando por desafiar o tempo
de observação do espectador, e expressando uma energia
que depois de consumada nos dá uma breve sensação de
suspensão do tempo.
10.
11. Série espectrograma.
Traços aleatórios desenhados no diário gráfico, que são
depois trabalhados digitalmente. O próprio desenho
computorizado é um somatório de bits, tão efémero e
impalpável quanto o processo mental (da dispersão ou
distribuição de energia) que está na origem da ideia, é agora,
uma janela de fazer imagens. As relações entre as várias
formas que fitam dar sentido ao encontro estético, a ordem
geométrica, a sistemática repetição, convida o espectador
a viajar visualmente por formas surgidas do desenho, que
permite um pensamento gráfico-espacial.

Construção epiléptica.
Duas rodas de automóvel, activadas mecanicamente, fazem
deslizar, horizontalmente, a chapa de zinco que apenas se
apoia sobre os pneus, sem qualquer suporte, proporcionando
assim uma breve suspensão temporal e gravitacional, uma
avalanche energética, onde o espectador é confrontado com
um jogo de dualidades – estabilidade/instabilidade, equilíbrio/
desequilíbrio, mobilidade/imobilidade, certeza/incerteza - que
expressam uma (in)constante precariedade da obra. Desta
forma, toda a energia patente no específico-elemento suscita a
estranheza , a estimulação, a (des)construção mental, que tanto
o artista procura, para que haja um enigmático pensamento em
torno da objectualidade da obra-artística.

Depois do ressoar de um búzio.
Uma lupa suspensa por um fio tem um movimento,
naturalmente, rotativo e aleatório, que neste caso resulta
na ampliação, ou distorção da projecção de luz sobre uma
parede. Temporalidade e espacialidade são noções intrínsecas
à experiência da imagem projectada, que tanto poderá estar
focada e revelar a sua forma e origem, como expandir-se e
emancipar-se pelo espaço envolvente. A essência está entre
os dois pontos, no ir e no voltar.
16. O pensamento nada sabe dos labirintos do tempo.
Óleo de motor sobre papel. A partir desta ideia de mancha,
o trabalho ganha um carácter pictórico, até ao momento
desconhecido. O tempo do processo da “fotografia”
na totalidade da sua “captura”, poderá levar meses em
“laboratório” e o tempo de “revelação” poderá mesmo ser
indeterminado. A sua própria temporalidade faz como se de
uma “fotografia de longa exposição” se tratasse, ou melhor,
de uma “pintura em movimento”, isto porque o óleo nunca
seca, e assim, a obra está numa mutação incontrolável
constantemente subtil.

Nos murmúrios do silêncio.
O homem existe primeiro como ser livre (nada) para depois
se definir, daí a máxima sartreana de que a “existência
precede a essência” e o nada, no seu mais recente trabalho,
aparece como o fator enigmático no campo da imaginação,
onde no espaço ocupa um lugar de contemplação. Andar à
volta do nada, do vazio, do que não sabemos onde está, nem
o que é. Simultaneamente a esse nada aparece a liberdade
«nos murmúrios do silêncio», entendida como autonomia de
escolha. Isto caracteriza a realidade humana como o ser dos
possíveis, uma vez que apenas o conhecimento se exclui de
tudo o que poderá ser nada.
