Adversarial Design

In doing so, the cultural production of Adversarial Design crosses all disciplinary boundaries in the construction of objects, interfaces, networks, spaces and events.

[1] Fundamental to Adversarial Design is agonism, a condition of productive contestation and dissensus.

Adversarial Design allows for spaces of agonism to flourish and provide resources and opportunities for others to participate in this contestation.

Adversarial Design facilitates ongoing questioning, challenging and reframing as a self-reflective mechanism for democracy to be effective.

Thus, one of the characteristics of Adversarial Design is the cultivated discernment of political qualities of artefacts and systems.
