Relationship Design: from academic approach to concrete applicationTsunagaru Inc.
Firstly coined in 2019 by Salesforce, the relationship design is both a theory, a mindset, and a method that can be applied to many fields. It draws on several academic disciplines, but it is also concretely applicable to business activities as well as private partnership.
As we use it now in our company Tsunagaru, it is part of our ENdemic movement, and we aim at becoming relationship designers. The very name of our company "tsunagaru" means to "connect" in Japanese. Therefore, we assigned a group of members and researchers to work on it, and we came up with those results.
Contrarily to the previous approaches of relationship design, we don't use it as a tool for service or product design, but as a goal itself.
This week we discuss the role of representation in Media studies. We reflect on the role of language in communication, and we discuss how semiotics works on signs.

WRITE A 100 WORD INTRODUCTION ON WHAT THEME WITHIN THE TOPIC
YOU WANT TO EXPLORE AND WHY. MENTION A MINIMUM OF 3 ARTISTS
YOU INTEND TO LOOK AT.
E.G. Within the theme of ‘Relationships’ I will explore connections. I am interested
in documenting the connections between people and objects, what bring people
together ? Why do objects ‘belong’ together ? Are these connections genuine or
can they change depending on culture and stereotype. I will explore the work of
photographers Marco Ugolini, Julie Moos and David Zilber investigating their
images to inspire my own work. Through the use of a digital camera and editing
techniques I hope to discover how connection is defined and what creates a visual
connection through photographic art.
