+## How do we design our Commute?
+
+In the context of the Design and Computation Studio Course [Milli Keil](https://millikeil.eu), [Marla Gaiser](https://marlagaiser.de) and me developed a concept for a playful critique of the traffic decisions we take and the idols we embrace.\
+It should open up questions of whether the generations to come should still grow up playing on traffic carpets that are mostly grey and whether the [Letzte Generation](https://letztegeneration.org), a political climate activist group in Germany receives enough recognition for their acts.
+
+A call for solidarity.

+## Autoimmunitaet
+
+Autoimmunity is a term for defects, that are produced by a dysfunctional self-tolerance of a system.\
+This dysfunction causes the immune system to stop accepting certain parts of itself and build antibodies instead.\
+An invitation for a speculative playful interaction.

+## The Process
+
+The figurines are 3D Scans of ourselves, in various typical poses of the Letzte Generation.\
+We used photogrammetry to create the scans, which is a technique that uses a lot of photos of an object to create a 3D model of it.\
+We used the app [Polycam](https://polycam.ai) to create the scans using IPads and their inbuilt Lidar scanners.
