Kinetic optimism is an experience innovation studio designing new forms of inhabiting technology with our humanity.
We apply the disruptive energy of social imagination - a new organization of meaning - revealing possibilities, new roles, and systems of relations through which emergent technology becomes an active participant in shared human experience.

The techno-social situation is a design perspective that moves into focus human goals, values, intentions, and context as an active resource for designing how technology participates in the human experience.
